Employ video and still photography, and high-resolution subbottom profiling to groundtruth and quantify the sidescan sonar mosaic and acoustic data collected in 1993 of the United States Army Corps of Engineers South Oahu Deep Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Sites. We are attempting to acoustically characterize the anthropogenic effects on the seafloor and near-surface substrate over the disposal sites. Through photography and bottom sampling we can quantify the Sonar Mosaic and acoustics collected in the 1993 field operations.
