Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are submersible underwater vehicles controlled
by onboard computers. AUV formation is a cooperative control which focuses on controlling …

Stressors are commonly accepted as the causal factors, either internal or external, that
evoke physiological responses to mediate the impact of the stressor. The majority of …

This newest edition adds new material to all chapters, especially in mathematical
propagation models and special applications and inverse techniques. It has updated …

This is the story of the marriage of two disciplines: physical oceanography and ocean
acoustics. It was a marriage of convenience, but with mutual respect, even love. I have spent …

Shallow water acoustics (SWA), the study of how low and medium frequency sound
propagates and scatters on the continental shelves of the worlds oceans, has both technical …

Global networks for crustal strain measurement provide important constraints for studies of
tectonic plate motion and deformation. To date, crustal strain measurements have been …

This work studies the impact of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) for oil spill detection and
localization in Subsea Production Systems. The case study is the Goliat FPSO, with a …
