Summary

A collection of papers from a workshop held by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, to review the state of the art in experimental acoustic inversion methods of shallow water exploration, held in March of 1999 in Cavoeiro, Portugal. For those seeking introduction to the field, as well as advanced researchers interested in the latest developments.
