Urgent: How can the amount of sediment on the seabed in a specified area be roughly calculated using integrals?

How to calculate the amount of seabed sediment in a specified area using integration? Beneath the silt layer is a conglomerate layer. The depth of seawater varies at different depths, so the surface of the silt is also irregular in shape, and the bottom of the silt layer is as well. What should we do?

The issue is a bit complicated; it’s recommended to consult the specialized departments responsible for managing marine areas, as they should be aware of it
In some sea areas, the sediment on the seabed follows a pattern, and an approximate value of the sediment volume can be calculated using integration methods. However, in most sea areas, the sediment distribution is irregular, and it is necessary for relevant survey agencies to conduct on-site investigations in order to provide an estimate. Additionally, since ocean currents change direction throughout the different seasons, the amount of sediment in the same sea area can vary greatly from season to season; therefore, it is a very complex issue. It’s better for the person asking the question to consult professional agencies rather than trying to calculate it themselves and making mistakes!
