    Vertical profile of metallic tracevelements in sediment cores from Terengganu waters
    (Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 2017) Kong Sher-Rine
    This study conducted to map a seafloor substrate and the area that was covered was in South West of Bidong Island which located in Terengganu. The first part aims is to delineate meaningful pattern of substrate distribution in backscatter and multibeam bathymetry using Object Based Image Analysis (OBIA) and the second part classifies type of seafloor substrate using multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data. An acquisition of acoustic for multibeam bathymetry, backscatter mosaic and ground truth data in South West of Bi dong Island is used to characterize the sea floor substrate. Acoustic data of were collected R2Sonic 2020. For ground truth data, sample of sediment has been grab and classified based on its texture from triangle plot, thus classifying the sediment as coarse sand and very coarse sand.
