Abstract :
This paper explores the technical and programmatic challenges confronting environmental acoustics. Environmental acoustics is the topic of using acoustic methods for underwater feature imaging, data communication, and oceanographic feature measurement. It is suggested how modeling and simulation can be leveraged as an enabling technology to meet these challenges
