Book Description
The overarching goal of this research was to advance our understanding of "geologic clutter", acoustic anomalies created by natural sub-seafloor features such as infilled paleochannels, using the continental shelf off New Jersey as a natural laboratory. As part of the ONR Geoclutter initiative, the objectives of this project were as follows: (1) to identify modern Holocene sedimentary processes responsible for the morphology and sedimentological heterogeneity of the seafloor; and (2) to determine the physical basis for seismic discontinuities and associated stratigraphic surfaces in the shallow subbottom. To meet these objectives, coordinated geophysical and geological studies were performed to characterize the sedimentology and stratigraphy at priority Geoclutter sites on the continental shelf. The geological data collected in this study will be used to design signal-processing algorithms that distinguish natural features and man-made targets present at (and just below) the seafloor.

Sediments, Morphology and Sedimentary Processes on Continental Shelves
Author: Michael Z. Li
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118311205
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
The application of multibeam and sediment transport measurement technologies and the adoption of multi-faceted research methodologies have greatly advanced our understanding of the sedimentary processes on continental shelves in the last decade. This book uniquely blends cutting-edge research and state-of-the art review articles that take stock of new advances in multibeam mapping and sediment transport technologies, spatial analysis and modelling, and the applications of these advances to the understanding of shelf sediments, morphodynamics, and sedimentary processes. Case studies are also presented to illustrate the utilization of seabed property and process knowledge in habitat mapping and ocean management With its mix of papers focusing on technological advances, integration of shelf morphology and processes, and the application of these advances to coastal and ocean management, this Special Publication volume will serve as a milestone reference for professional marine scientists and as advanced text for students in marine geology, sedimentology and oceanography. This book is part of the International Association of Sedimentologists (IAS) Special Publications. The Special Publications from the IAS are a set of thematic volumes edited by specialists on subjects of central interest to sedimentologists. Papers are reviewed and printed to the same high standards as those published in the journal Sedimentology and several of these volumes have become standard works of reference.

Sedimentary Evolution and Hazardous Geology during the Holocene in the Yangtze River and the Red River Deltas and the Neighboring Coastal Areas
Author: Jian Liu
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2832546161
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
The Yangtze River (Changjiang) and the Red River (Song Hong) that originate in highlands of the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau, two of the largest rivers in East and Southeast Asia in terms of water and sediment discharge into oceans, play a pivotal role in the global biogeochemical cycle. The Yangtze River Delta is located at the west coast of the East China Sea and the Red River delta at the west coast of the Gulf of Tonkin in the South China Sea. Both were initiated during the early to middle Holocene.
