Subbottom profiling (or high resolution seismic) utilizes enough acoustic power to penetrate the sea floor, to give the scientist significant information about the sediments below the sea floor.

Information about...

• Sediment type

• Accumulation

• Erosion

• Bearing capacity

• Depth to bedrock

• Conditions to expect during dredging, excavation, pile driving, etc.
