In previous years, we focused on acquiring (ONR surveys 2007-2009) and processing (HIPS and SIS from CARIS software) multibeam data from several shallow water sites in the Gulf of Mexico with multiple multibeam, side scan, and sub-bottom profiler systems, all acquired from the same vessel, at the same time, using the same motion reference unit and GPS. The preliminary results indicate a relatively large (100m) amount of lateral seafloor movement ...
To investigate the seasonal variability in seafloor and shallow sub-bottom acoustic properties in the shallow water Gulf of Mexico. We chose three sites for this purpose. The sites, and their primary objectives, are: MURI Fluid-Mud site, Louisiana. Acquisition of a baseline geophysical data set in summer 2007 along the two primary transects identified as the focus of ONR-sponsored research as part of the Fluid-Mud MURI. Groundtruthing of the acquired acoustic/geophysical ...
The long-term goals of this project is to investigate the seasonal variability in seafloor and shallow sub-bottom acoustic properties in the shallow water Gulf of Mexico. We have chosen three sites for this purpose: MURI Fluid-Mud site, Louisiana; West Delta area, Louisiana; and Panama City, Florida. Our objective in all study areas is to increase our understanding of the variability of seafloor and shallow sub-surface acoustic properties that impact the ...
