ABSTRACT:
A method of measuring the shear modulus profile of a seabed floor using one or more bottom shear modulus profilers, each having a seisometer package to measure the seabed motion in three dimensions and a sensor for measuring the pressure at the seabed floor, placed on or below the seabed floor, and a means for converting the measurements derived therefrom into a shear modulus profile.
