Sound waves are the only practical means of remote investigation
of the sea and its bottom and transmission in seawater. Underwater
acoustics has become one of the major technologies used in the
exploration and exploitation of the oceans for scientific,
industrial, or military/naval purposes. It is widely employed in
the fields of ocean engineering, seafloor mapping, defence,
oceanography, navigation, and fisheries.
Dr Xavier Lurton is a renowned specialist in underwater
acoustics. He has worked in this field as a scientist, engineer,
project manager and teacher since 1981 and has participated in many
scientific projects, systems developments and at-sea cruises. In
the second edition of his book, Dr Lurton provides an updated and
extended introduction to underwater acoustics, including coverage
of the physical processes and their basic modeling, different
underwater acoustic systems and their practical applications and a
description and assessment of the various technologies. Dr Lurton
has extensive experience as a lecturer in undergraduate and
postgraduate schools, including naval academies. This book is based
on his direct, first-hand experience of the many aspects of
underwater acoustics in seas around the world, at the forefront of
current research and development efforts.
