The value of remote sensing techniques in supporting effective extrapolation across multiple marine spatial scales [PDF]
The reporting of ecological phenomena and environmental status routinely required point observations, collected with traditional sampling approaches to be extrapolated to larger reporting scales.

Seafloor mapping is a fast developing multidisciplinary branch of oceanology that combines geophysics, geostatistics, sedimentology and ecology. One of its objectives is to isolate distinct seabed features in a repeatable, fast and objective way, taking ...

This study indicates that Hester Marsh, a restored site successfully maintains surface elevation, resulting in reduced surface inundation. The low‐lying Yampah Marsh, a reference site, is likely to be inundated due to future sea level rise (SLR) when the highest tides arrive, while a higher percentage of Hester Marsh would retain marsh vegetation in ...

Analyzing Archive Transit Multibeam Data for Nodule Occurrences
We show that analyzing archived and future multibeam backscatter and bathymetry data, in tandem with regional environmental parameters, can help to identify polymetallic nodule fields in the world’s oceans.

An assessment of bottom current controlled sedimentation in Pacific Ocean abyssal environments [PDF]
The effect of the circulation of polar-sourced dense waters on the deep seafloor is still largely unknown. This paper presents multibeam bathymetric evidence for the existence of present-day contourite drifts on the central Pacific ocean at depths ...

Multibeam bathymetry and CTD measurements in two fjord systems in southeastern Greenland
. We present bathymetry and hydrological observations collected in the summer of 2014 from two fjord systems in southeastern Greenland with a multibeam sonar system. Our results provide a detailed bathymetric map of the fjord complex around the island of

A Possible Tsunamigenic Near‐Trench Strike‐Slip Fault, Offshore North Ecuador–South Colombia
Abstract Seismic reflection and bathymetry collected along the Ecuador–Colombia obliquely convergent margin allow the first characterization of the NNE‐trending, near‐trench strike‐slip Ancon Fault in the possible source region of the 1906‐Mw8.6–8.8 and 1979‐Mw8.2 earthquakes, which produced devastating tsunamis.

Seafloor mapping in the Arctic: support for a potential U.S. extended continental shelf [PDF]
For the United States, the greatest opportunity for an extended continental shelf under UNCLOS is in the ice-covered regions of the Arctic north of Alaska.

Cyclic Pockmark Formation Linked to Plio‐Pleistocene Sea‐Level Rise on the Chatham Rise, New Zealand
Abstract Pockmarks are geomorphological depressions on the seafloor in various underwater environmental settings. They are commonly linked to fluid release from subsurface reservoirs; however, the processes involved, fluid types, and relative timing of their formation often remain enigmatic.
