Title:

Free Fall Analysis

Free Fall Analysis is an application for ocean researchers to enter, analyze, and visualize data collected from Free Fall Penetrometers in order to predict soil sediment types. Free Fall Penetrometers are small metal devices that are dropped off boats into the water by ocean researchers, to measure acceleration and pore pressure. These measurements are analyzed by calculating parameters of interest and through informative visuals, to characterize soil sediment, an important task in offshore site development. The existing data analysis methods used by ocean researchers lack a graphical user interface, are spread across multiple tools and languages, and do not provide any validation of user input. These conditions make it difficult and inefficient to analyze large amounts of data effectively. Our goal was to develop a unified desktop application that combined all existing data analysis functionality with a graphical user interface. This application would need to be efficient, easy to interact with, and most importantly accurate. Free Fall Analysis provides ocean researchers with a powerful tool to efficiently characterize soil from large amounts of Free Fall Penetrometer data.​
