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，以绘制出适合集成到自动驾驶车辆上的海洋结构。该项目是海洋监测的一个令人兴奋的新领域，将结合海洋科学家、地震学家和自主仪器专家的联合收割机专业知识。学生还将与工业界（例如Teledyne Marine，Schlumberger剑桥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数据。这将通过使用斯伦贝谢剑桥研究所提供的地震数据集或2018年南大洋研究巡航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，调查使用可安装在滑翔机上的水听器和声源进行海洋地震调查的情况3.进行可行性研究，以开发可安装在自动驾驶车辆上的新的主动声反射系统，对海洋结构进行成像

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
