Listening to the Oceans - Effective Techniques for Acoustic Imaging of Oceanic Structure

这个博士项目的目的是确定声反射系统的潜力，以绘制海洋结构，适合集成到自动驾驶汽车上。这个项目是海洋监测的一个令人兴奋的新领域，它将结合海洋科学家、地震学家和自主仪器专家的专业知识。该学生还将与工业界（例如Teledyne Marine， Schlumberger Cambridge Research）密切合作。学生的目标将有三个方面：1。学习如何收集、处理和解释传统的海洋地震资料。这将使用斯伦贝谢剑桥研究中心提供的地震数据集，或2018年在南大洋的研究巡航中收集的数据，以及基于行业的Omega软件系统来实现。2.通过不同装置的正演模拟，研究安装在滑翔机上的水听器和声源在地震海洋调查中的应用。进行可行性研究，开发一种新的主动声反射系统，以成像海洋结构，可以安装在自动驾驶汽车上

The purpose of this PhD project will be to identify the potential of an acoustic reflection system to map out oceanic structure, suitable for integration onto autonomous vehicles. This project is an exciting new area of ocean monitoring and will combine expertise from ocean scientists, seismologists and autonomous instrumentation specialists. The student will also work in close collaboration with industry (e.g. Teledyne Marine, Schlumberger Cambridge Research).The student goals will be three fold: 1.To learn how to collect, process and interpret traditional oceanic seismic data. This will be achieved using either a seismic dataset to be provided by Schlumberger Cambridge Research, or data to be collected on a research cruise to the Southern Ocean in 2018, and the industry-based Omega software system. 2.To investigate the use of hydrophones and sound sources that can be mounted on gliders for conducting a seismic oceanographic survey by forward modelling of different set-ups3.To carry out feasibility studies for developing a new active acoustic reflection system to image oceanic structure, that can be mounted on autonomous vehicles
