Data for this project was gathered in the Black Sea using
the Jason submersible robot. Jason carries a large amount of
instrumentation and can be maneuvered at constant depth and velocity
at speeds around 10cm/second, a remarkable feat in the open sea. The equipment relevant to this project is the sub-bottom profiler developed by Dr. David Mindell and the DeepArch research group. | Sub-bottom profiler |
