Abstract
One of the first tasks for Steve Schock's sub bottom measurement system was with the Naval Undersea Warfare Center at Newport, RI. A research CRADA was established between NUWC and Precision Signals (Dr. LeBlanc and Dr. Schock) to measure the bottom sediment beneath the torpedo test range. The measurements were successful. The bay at the test range was measured down to bed rock at 64 m. The results indicated that the bay had been a glacial lake from the time the ice receded; until the sand bar that blocked the mouth of the bay eroded and the lake became a salt water bay, open to the ocean. Dr. Schock and Dr. LeBlanc authored a number of technical papers detailing the technology and its application. They founded the Chirp Lab at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida, where the technology has been advancing. Some of the latest techniques were presented in a special session at the May 2011 ASA meeting in Seattle.
