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 whichsub-seabed sedimentary characteristics and dicreteburied objects larger than 0.5 m can be identified and mapped. It makes use of the innovative JYG-cross design, inspired by seismic reflection anduses Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) multi-angle scattering in and within the seabed to deliver unprecedented imagery. This book was written by the inventor of these concepts, a known specialist in seabed acoustics, with help from an experienced academic and author. It is intended first and foremost as a how-to guide for offshore industries looking at techniques to make the installation of different types of structures safe and efficient.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274776174743,"sku":"9783319025780","price":4040.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783319025780.webp?v=1769280912","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/acoustic-investigation-of-complex-seabeds-9783319025780","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
