Side Scan Sonar Data Interpretation Course
AzulMar Research, LLC has developed a Side Scan Sonar
Data Interpretation Course to teach students the fundamentals of
interpreting side scan sonar records. Since the quality of side scan sonar imagery is directly related to
the conditions under which it was collected, AzulMar Research has chosen to
conduct this class on the water collecting real data.
By interpreting data while it is being collected,
students will better understand what conditions and processes affect the
quality of the imagery. Students
will then understand and be capable of accurately interpreting a complex
acoustic record.
During this course, students will survey a variety of
objects and geology in the Patuxent River, Maryland.
Class size is limited to 4 students
at a time, to maximize instructor / student interaction and provide each
student with significant amounts of “hands on” operation of the equipment.
