Seabed surveying is the basis of engineering development in shallow waters. At present, geophysical survey methods mainly utilize sonars for qualitative surveying, which requires the calibration of the results found through in situ drilling and sampl...
The most effective method for surveying underwater archeological sites is visually identifying areas with relics or remains through diving surveys. However, during underwater excavations, it is difficult to obtain images in turbid water. Furthermore,...
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a well-respected, effective, and efficient geophysical technique. However, for underwater engineering detection and underwater archaeology, the measured B-scan profiles typically contain surface-related multiple wave...
Geophysical techniques are widely applied in the archaeological field to highlight variations of the physical behaviour of the subsoil due to the presence of ancient and buried remains., Considerable efforts are required to understand the complexity...
The Russian sector of the arctic shelf is the longest in the world. Quite a lot of places of massive discharge of bubble methane from the seabed into the water column and further into the atmosphere were found there. This natural phenomenon requires...
The measurement of Earth’s gravitational field is important in geophysics, geodynamics, geodesy, oceanography, and space science. The ocean covers 71% of the earth’s surface; therefore, measuring the ocean’s gravitational field is c...
Submarine landslides pose a serious threat to the safety of underwater engineering facilities. To evaluate the safety of undersea structures, it is important to estimate and analyze the sliding processes of potential submarine landslides. In this stu...
Database-referenced navigation (DBRN) using geophysical information is often implemented on autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to correct the positional errors of the inertial navigation system (INS). The matching algorithm is a pivotal technique...
For inertial navigation systems (INS), as one of the major methods for underwater navigation, errors diverge over time. With the development of geophysical navigation technology, gravity navigation has become an effective method of navigation. Signif...
Inspections of engineered structures below water level are essential to ensure the long-term serviceability of bridge infrastructure and to avoid major damage or failure. This research aimed to investigate integrated geophysical technologies for the...
The number of studies on submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) and the evidence of its significance in biogeochemical cycling and potential impacts on the chemical and ecological status of coastal waters is increasing globally. Here, we briefly prese...
It is well known that nowadays as well as in the past the vast majority of human habitation and activities are mainly concentrated in littoral areas. Thus the increased attention to coastal zone management contributed to the development and implement...
