Revealing New Frontiers Using Side Scan Sonar06/10/2008 |
| Martin Klein (MIT Class of 1962) will talk on 14th October 2008 at the MIT Museum for a side scan sonar exhibit reception. Klein recently assisted the MIT Museum with an exhibit about U.S. Navy and MIT involvement in side scan sonar development. |
|
Klein was a key pioneer in the commercial development of side scan sonar in the 1960s, and has been a life-long participant in developing this technology to explore earth's vast underwater world. Klein will discuss his role in ocean exploration beginning with his association with MIT Professor Harold Edgerton, founding Klein Associates and leading the development of ocean search and survey technology. Klein will also discuss the present importance of side scan sonar and related acoustic technologies for energy, environment and security.
Klein will explain why the frontiers for exciting careers in ocean research and discovery have never been greater nor more important for humanity.
Where: MIT Museum, 265 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, MA When: Tuesday 14th October 2008 Exhibit Reception with Martin Klein 5:30 - 6:30 Talk by Martin Klein: 6:30 - 7:30 Contact: Kurt Hasselbalch, phone +1 6172535942

Hydrographic Survey for Riverbed Erosion |
U.S. Geological Survey were out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyzes the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed.
