Ocean sediments—a study relating geophysical, geotechnical, and acoustic properties

A multi-device high density survey of the seafloor was conducted in the outer Placentia Bay area of Newfoundland using the Bedford Institute of Oceanography research ship CSS Hudson. The acoustic records obtained from various systems, the seafloor soil samples collected by a piston corer and a grab...

Description
Summary:A multi-device high density survey of the seafloor was conducted in the outer Placentia Bay area of Newfoundland using the Bedford Institute of Oceanography research ship CSS Hudson. The acoustic records obtained from various systems, the seafloor soil samples collected by a piston corer and a grab sampler, and the in-situ data from a free-fall penetrometer were all subsequently analyzed. The correlation between the results of these different analyses is examined in this paper.
