Dumpsite Seabed Characterization of the San Pedro Basin, CA, From Autonomous Vehicle Observations
ABSTRACT A wide‐area seabed survey was conducted using autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in a known dumpsite off the coast of Southern California that has been found to have widespread sediment contamination from the chemical dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT).

High resolution digital holographic synthetic aperture applied to deformation measurement and extended depth of field method [PDF]
This paper discusses the potential of the synthetic-aperture method in digital holography to increase the resolution, to perform high accuracy deformation measurement, and to obtain a three-dimensional topology map.

Back Projection Algorithm for Multi-Receiver Synthetic Aperture Sonar Based on Two Interpolators
The back projection (BP) algorithm is characterized by its high performance for multi-receiver synthetic aperture sonar (SAS). For this reason, it is usually used to evaluate the imaging performance of Fourier-domain methods.

Drew Rothrock's Fundamental Contributions to Arctic Science
Abstract David Andrew (Drew) Rothrock III lived during a period of vigorous scientific research in the Earth Sciences, from the International Geophysical Year to the era of satellites and high‐speed computer modeling. Drew made fundamental contributions to Arctic science, helping to lay the theoretical foundations for modeling the movement and ...

The Bright Feature Transform for Prominent Point Scatterer Detection and Tone Mapping
Detecting bright point scatterers plays an important role in assessing the quality of many sonar, radar, and medical ultrasound imaging systems, especially for characterizing the resolution.

WAH‐i: Optimising microphone array geometry for customised localisation accuracy
Abstract Accurate spatial localisation of free‐flying echolocating bats is foundational for resolving fine‐scale flight and echolocation behaviour, prey interception and spatial decision‐making in natural environments. Acoustic localisation using microphone arrays is widely employed for this purpose, yet array geometries in field studies are typically ...

Abstract Understanding the coastal zone of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), where it interacts with the Southern Ocean and warmer air masses, is crucial for predicting Antarctica's influence on the global climate and sea level. This region has multiple tipping mechanisms that could trigger large, rapid, and potentially irreversible changes in the AIS ...

Wallach (J. Exp. Psychol. 1940, 27, 339–368) predicted that a human subject rotating about a vertical axis through the auditory centre, having an acoustic source rotating around the same axis at twice the rotation rate of the human subject, would ...

Decadal‐Scale Bathymetric Change in a Shallow Coastal Bay
Abstract Coastal marshes and bays must accumulate sediment to maintain their position relative to mean sea level during periods of sea level rise (SLR). Resuspension of bay‐bottom sediment, which together with tidal inundation promotes marsh deposition, is sensitive to water depth, but quantitative measurements of bathymetric change across shallow bays

Acoustic Detection of Underwater Air Bubbles Generated by Breaking Waves in an Antarctic Polynya
Abstract The Southern Ocean is a significant sink for anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere. The pelagic regions north of sea ice areas primarily absorb atmospheric CO2 via biological productivity and air‐sea gas exchange. The latter is enhanced by the bubbles generated by breaking waves.
