摘 要：The ocean is home to many exotic ecosystems, a substantial source of the world’s total crude oil, susceptible to military infiltration, and yet still massively undersampled and underexplored. Recently, mobile underwater sensor networks have been gaining traction as a method for monitoring our oceans with better spatial and temporal resolution. In this application, the most viable way of imaging the environment is by using acoustics. This is precluded, however, by a current lack of suitable acoustic transducers.
