Seafloor Characterization by Monochannel Seismic Surveys

Seafloor characterization by monochannel seismic surveys by A. Vesnaver, L. Baradello, and F. Meneghini provides practical tools for geotechnical and environmental applications using simple monochannel seismic systems such as Chirp and Boomer. The book guides readers in maximizing information from these systems, covering both theory and hands-on workflows with MatLab, FORTRAN, and PYTHON codes. This book covers topics that include comparisons of Chirp and Boomer sources, amplitude recovery and multiple attenuation strategies, traveltime and amplitude inversion for estimating shallow sediment properties, and post-stack processing techniques for improved imaging. Emphasis is placed on workflows suitable for offshore engineering and environmental studies that require accurate shallow-layer characterization.
