B. Sediment Property Determination 



- Variety of tools exist to acquire quantitative or qualitative data, 



Static, dynamic penetrometers, in-situ Sub-bottom profiling 

 vane shear device, corers, grab samplers side scan sonar

C. Sediment Property Estimation 



(When detailed physical survey not practical) 



- Determine whether sediments are: " 



Terrigenous (land-derived) sediments or pelagic 

 (ocean-derived) sediments (e.g., pelagic clay, oozes).
