| Summary: |
Offshore drilling and constructions require exact knowledge of the geophysical properties of the seabed and sub-seabed, as unexpected objects can slow down or halt projects. This book presents the state-of-the-art in acoustic exploration of the seabed and sub-seabed, from initial designs in the 1980s to commercial contracting and operation of the Acoustic Corer in the last decade. The Acoustic Corer is a high-definition commercial acoustic sub-bottom imaging system, producing an acoustic core within which sub-seabed sedimentary characteristics and discrete buried objects larger than 0.5 m ca |
