There are numerous factors engineers, geologists, marine, and environmental scientists must be aware of involving seafloor processes and geotechnology (to work in a safe and environmentally responsible manner in either the deep ocean or coastal zone). This difference is due in part to the nature of the sediment column which varies from the continental shelf and slope, to the abyssal plains. This book provides a comprehensive survey of these factors and discusses marine in situ investigation, drilling, soil sampling, sediment properties and laboratory testing techniques.
