BoardUniversity of New Hampshire Thesis Proposal Defense
The thesis proposal defense focused on research regarding the mapping and characterization of ocean mixing processes using broadband acoustic techniques. The candidate presented objectives for utilizing broadband acoustic systems to observe stratification interfaces and buoyant fluid emissions, highlighting their advantages over traditional narrowband methods. The discussion included the application of acoustic modeling to identify and map the oxic and anoxic interfaces in the Baltic Sea, demonstrating how such technology provides high-resolution, near-synoptic data for complex marine environments.
