| Technical Thrusts | |||
|
Identifying and quantifying asw potential for using seismic sensors buried in sediments, and to develop capabilities for predicting their performance. | ||
|
|
Developing an increased understanding of the processes governing generation and propagation of seismic waves trapped at the water/sediment interface. | ||
|
|
Obtaining and analyzing pure path, low frequency backscatter data related to seafloor/subbottom features. This effort demonstrates the significant heterogeneity of the subbottom. | ||
|
|
Developing a swath subbottom seismic system that will resolve small scale geologic features related to localized geologic and oceanographic processes. | ||
|
|
Developing an understanding of the basic controls and processes of early marine sediment diagenesis including sediment physical properties and microfabric. Effort includes elucidating the role of diagenesis in controlling heterogeneity of key sediment properties. | ||
