Current Research:
Dr. Odom's background is
in acoustic and elastic wave propagation. He is principal investigator on projects
to model propagation in range-dependent shallow water with elastic bottom effects
and to develop improvements to the Navy bottom backscatter/bottom loss models
and databases at mid-frequencies. He is also the APL lead for the Ocean Acoustic
Observatory Federation, part of the ONR National Ocean Partnership Program.
He has published papers on wave propagation and nonlinear inverse problems in
the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Geophysical Journal International,
Bulletin of the Seismological Society, and Geophysics. Dr. Odom joined the Laboratory
in 1990.
