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侧扫声纳， 用于安装在海洋学船上的海底下剖面仪 由一个七个校区的联盟共享设备正在 与磁力计和自动多功能 参数探针系统，使本科生学习 海底特征化原理与技术 地形，海底断层，碳氢化合物渗漏， 淹没的文化资源，等等。该项目 有助于增进对环境的了解 沿着南方人类活动的影响和经济影响 加州海岸。

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.
