Acoustic Investigation of Complex Seabeds
Offshore drilling and constructions require exact knowledge of the geophysical properties of the seabed and sub-seabed, as unexpected objects can slow down or halt projects. This book presents the state-of-the-art in acoustic exploration of the seabed and

This book, and all this work, would not have been possible without the love and support of Anna during all these decades, and I would like to dedicate the book to her. For my grandchildren Éric, Raya, Mila and Loïc, to inspire them to the world of seabed acoustics. Jacques Yves Guigné For my parents: role models, encouragements and always present when needed. For Olga, source of inspiration and constant support. And for Diego, to share with him the wonders of science and the discovery of underwater frontiers. Philippe Blondel
Preface
Marine environments are increasingly important to human activities, with increasing exploration of our “Blue Planet” and with the development of resource extraction and offshore construction in often challenging environments. For these activities, we need an accurate knowledge of the seabed and what lies immediately beneath it. Are there methane reservoirs frozen below a
