Shear Waves in Marine Sediments Breitscheidstr. 10 The explosion of information published 9783642096402 The explosion of information published these days in the primary research literature represents in some ways a substantial barrier to the new investigator or researcher crossing over traditional boundaries between fields apparently unrelated areas For example water column acousticians view the seafloor sediment as the lower boundary of their domain and are interested in shear and interface waves in the near bottom sediments mainly from the standpoint of how they influence absorption and reflection at this boundary Shear waves and closely related interface waves (Rayleigh
