About
Steve Stanic is a leading figure in underwater acoustics, with a career focused on the challenging problem of sound propagation and penetration into the seafloor. His most-cited work, the 2003 paper "At-sea measurements of sound penetration into sediments using a buried vertical synthetic array," details a pioneering field experiment in St. Andrews Bay, Florida. This study introduced an innovative method—a buried, vertical, one-dimensional synthetic array system, created by water-jetting a small hydrophone into a medium-grain sandy bottom. By enabling direct, in-situ measurements of acoustic penetration, Stanic’s work provided critical empirical data that advanced the understanding of seabed acoustics, a key area for naval sonar, marine geology, and offshore engineering. With 17 citations, this paper remains a foundational reference for researchers studying sediment acoustics. Stanic’s contributions have helped bridge the gap between theoretical models and real-world seafloor environments, making him a respected authority in the field of ocean acoustics and sediment interaction.
