Book Physics of Sound in Marine Sediments

Download or read book Physics of Sound in Marine Sediments written by Loyd Hampton and published by Springer. This book was released on 1974 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phenomenon of sound transmissions through marine sediments is of extreme interest to both the United States civilian and Navy research communities. Both communities have conducted research within the field of this phenomenon approaching it from different perspectives. The academic research community has approached it as a technique for studying sedimentary and crustal structures of the ocean basins. The Navy research community has approached it as an additional variable in the predictability of sound trans mission through oceanic waters. In order to join these diverse talents, with the principal aim of bringing into sharp focus the state-of-the-science in the problems relating to the behavior of sound in marine sediments, the Office of Naval Research organized and sponsored an invited symposium on this subject. The papers published in this volume are the results of this symposium and mark the frontiers in the state-of-the-art. The symposia series were based on five research areas identified by ONR as being particularly suitable for critical review and for the appraisal of future research trends. These areas include: 1. Physics of Sound in Marine Sediments, 2. Physical and Engineering Properties of Deep-Sea Sediments, 3. The Role of Bottom Currents in Sea Floor Geological Processes, 4. Nephelometry and the Optical Properties of the Ocean I'laters, S. Natural Gases in Marine Sediments and Their Mode of Distribution. These five areas also form some of the research priorities of the ONR program in Marine Geology and Geophysics.

Book Environmental Factors Affecting the Emplacement of Seafloor Installations

Download or read book Environmental Factors Affecting the Emplacement of Seafloor Installations written by Kenneth Roland Demars and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to evaluate porential environmental problems at a seafloor site. The specific environmental problems of concern are: earthquake occurrence and effects, sediment scour and deposition, slope stability, seafloor vehicle trafficability, and turbidity currents. Pertinent information on each problem area is presented including an evaluation of the magnitude, probability of occurrence, and effects on seafllor installations. General information is also presented on the seafloor environment including the geomorphology, bottom currents, and sediments. Guidelines are recommended for evaluating each problem area. Some specific recommendations are to avoid construction sites close to an active fault or on an unstable slope if earthquakes registering 6.0 on the Richter Scale have been recorded within 100 miles; on slopes greater than 10 degrees, and preferably on slopes greater than 5 degrees--to minimize creep movement and earthquake-induced failures; and where there is more than a low probability of occurrence of turbidity currents large enough to damage a structure during its useful life. Another factor is that structures near sediment sources may be subject to long-term burial and to local scour effects running gear for seafloor vehicles. (Author).
