Abstract
This paper discusses modified seismic reflection technique tailored to the characterization of bottom and subbottom materials. The application of acoustic impedance principles has resulted in the development of a method for rapidly determining the type and density of subbottom materials scheduled for dredging. Acoustic theory is discussed only in sufficient detail to enable the reader to understand basic concepts.
