New acoustic seabed profiling systems have been introduced in the past 15 yeas that represent a quantum leap in our ability to characterize the seafloor for geotechnical and other scientific purposes. However, the data from such systems is not entirely useful in and by itself. It needs to be combined with ground truth measurements obtained from conventional geotechnical tests conducted either in the field or on samples collected from borings or various coring devices. Correlations between acoustic and physical properties are presented to contribute to the continuing effort to develop improved acoustic systems for the remote identification and measurement of marine sediments.
