As part of its continuing program to stimulate superior basic
research in the marine environment, the Office of Naval Research,
Ocean Science and Technology Division, sponsored a series of closed
seminar-workshops in 1972-1973. Each seminar focused upon one re
search area of marine geology which is relatively new and in need
of a critical evaluation and accelerated support. The subjects
areas chosen for the seminars were: 1. natural gases in marine
sediments and their mode of distribution, 2. nephelometry and the
optical properties of ocean waters, 3. physical and engineering
properties of deep-sea sediments, and 4. physics of sound in marine
sediments. The objectives of each seminar-workshop were to bring
into sharper focus the state-of-the-science within each subject
area, to effect some degree of coordination among the investigators
working within each of these areas and to provide the Ocean Science
and Technology Division guidance for national program support. This
volume.contains most of the papers presented at the semi nar on the
physical and engineering properties of deep-sea sediments. The
seminar was held at Airlie House, Airlie, Virginia on April 24- 27,
1973 and was organized and chaired by A. Inderbitzen. The at
tendees were invited from among the leading investigators in this
field from both the engineering and scientific disciplines. Each
attendee was requested to prepare a paper within his area of spe
ciality."
