Abstract:ABSTRACT. Fluid mud are frequently observed in navigational channels and their characterization and mapping are very important for safety reasons. This study investigates the response of different acoustic equipments on the identification and mapping of fluid mud. Sonographic, bathymetric and sub-bottom profile surveys were carried out in order to acoustically map the seabed. Short sediment cores were collected to determine the seabed bulk density. The survey was undertaken along Porto de Tubarão (Espírito San… Show more
