  • Chapter
Bottom-Interacting Ocean Acoustics

Part of the book series: NATO Conference Series ((NATOCS,volume 5))

The marine geologist/geophysicist’s principal tools for studying the seafloor are acoustic. The first major increase in understanding the seafloor following the original Challeger Expedition came in the 1950’s with the routine application of precision echo sounding techniques from research vessels.
