Side Scan Sonar with Sub-Bottom Profiling Capability for an Ocean Studies Laboratory Aboard a Seven Campus Consortium Vessel

海洋研究所正在购买一个侧面扫描声纳和海底剖面仪，安装在由七个校园联盟共享的海洋研究船上。该设备与磁力计和自动多参数探测系统配合使用，使本科生能够研究海底地形、海底断层、碳氢化合物渗漏和水下文化资源等特征的原理和技术。该项目有助于加深对南加州沿岸人类活动对环境和经济影响的了解。

The Ocean Studies Institute is purchasing a side scan sonar and sub-bottom profiler for installation on an oceanographic vessel shared by a seven campus consortium. The equipment is being used in conjunction with a magnetometer and an automated multi- parameter probe system to enable undergraduates to study the principles and techniques of characterizing ocean bottom topography, submarine faults, hydrocarbon seepage, and submerged cultural resources, among others. The project is contributing to an increased understanding of the environmental and economic effects of human activities along the South California coast.
