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."
