Marine Sub-bottom Profiling

Marine sub-bottom profiling is a geophysical technique used to explore underwater layers of sediment and rock beneath the seabed. It involves sending sound waves into the water, which penetrate the seabed and reflect back to sensors. By analyzing the returning signals, scientists and engineers can create detailed images of the layers below the ocean floor. This information is valuable for various applications, including resource exploration, environmental studies, and assessing geological hazards. Essentially, it helps us understand what lies beneath the surface of the sea without the need for invasive drilling.
