Research will
cover Remote Sensing using Acoustics and Sonar Primers.
So far we have discussed the components of ocean acoustics
and the role sonar plays in seafloor mapping. We've also
discussed the effects of greenhouse gas emissions –
particularly the rise in carbon dioxide levels. This then
brought us to the topic of global warming. To gain some
prospective on this topic we watched the movie “The
Day After Tomorrow.” Other topics discussed included,
dredging and disposal of marine sediments, laser line
scanning, understanding sound, benthic mapping, and bathymetry.
To show understanding of subject matter, each team member
has written a research paper for every topic discussed.
Currently we are discussing the use of scatterometers
in measuring ocean winds.
