Abstract

Site characterization is inherently difficult in underwater settings. Unlike for terrestrial sites, essential information impacting the effectiveness of sensor platform deployments, caused by variable vegetation and topographic conditions, cannot be defined through simple site visits or review of widely available airborne or satellite imagery. An underwater site is usually “dark.” An investigation team may have access to bathymetry from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), or local sediment conditions from prior biological evaluations, but rarely does a site present itself for investigation with detailed bathymetry, sediment conditions and geo-registered locations of materials on the seafloor.
