Description:Sediment stability or lack of it, mass physical properties of marine sediments, slumps, slides, creep, erosion, and deposition are conditions and processes of which we must have a much better understanding if those involved in offshore engineering projects are to design and implant structures on the seafloor more efficiently
and safely than is now possible. For the past ten years, NOAA's research in this relatively new field has been carried out by the Marine Geology and Geophysics Laboratory of the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorology Laboratories on Virginia Key, Miami, Florida. Knowing that good communication is important to cooperation and coordination within such a growing field as the study of the geotechnical aspects of marine sediments on the continental margin, this program document has been prepared by Bennett, McGregor, and Kofoed. The purpose is to give timely and wide dissemination of the substance of our program and its results to date not only for the edification of other workers in the field, but also for the benefit of the ultimate users-the ocean engineers who have to design offshore structures that are efficient and safe in an alien environment.
