IDENTIFICATION OF SEAFLOOR HABITATS IN COASTAL SHELF WATERS [PDF]

, 2008
Modern, high-resolution multibeam sonar systems are capable of mapping acoustic backscattering strength coinciding with fine bathymetry, which improves substantially the capability of sonars to discriminate different types of seafloor habitats.

Multidisciplinary Investigation of Healy Submarine Volcano (Kermadec Arc, New Zealand) Using AUV and Submersible Data: Structural Control on Magmatic and Hydrothermal Processes

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present a comprehensive multidisciplinary investigation of the Healy submarine volcano in the southern Kermadec arc, northeast of New Zealand. We show the first results of sidescan‐sonar data collected at a submarine arc volcano by an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV).

Magnetic Signature of Oceanic Transform Faults and Their Fracture Zones

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Oceanic transform faults (TFs) offset mid‐ocean ridges, juxtaposing different‐aged crust and causing fracture zones (FZ) crossing ocean basins. Mounting evidence challenges the consensus that TFs are conservative plate boundaries, instead supporting the existence of extensional tectonics and two phases of magmatism.

Multibeam bathymetry raw data (Kongsberg EM 122 entire dataset) of RV MARIA S. MERIAN during cruise MSM55 [PDF]

, 2020
Multibeam bathymetry raw data using the ship's own Kongsberg EM 122 multibeam echosounder was not continuously recorded during RV MARIA S. MERIAN cruise MSM55. Data were recorded on 8 days between 13.06.2016 and 29.06.2016 at different locations.

Seabed Classification Using Multibeam Echosounder Measurement Data

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2022
Abstract Multibeam Echosounder (MBES) utilizes acoustic waves emitted to the seafloor through a transmitter or transducer and records its reflective. The information obtained by MBES are depth data and the scattering value of the acoustic signal reflected by the object or the seabed, called backscatter.

The Deep‐Sea Preyscapes of Mammalian Top Predators

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Deep‐sea predator foraging is shaped by prey richness, accessibility, and density. Using eDNA and acoustics, we mapped fish and cephalopod communities across inshore‐offshore gradients around the Azores in foraging habitats of three co‐occurring deep‐diving toothed whales.

Applications of Multibeam Backscatter: Using Multibeam Echosounder Backscatter to Characterize and Map Seafloor Features in Shallow and Deep Water [PDF]

, 2010
Recent developments in multibeam echosounder backscatter processing are now included in most commercially available processing software. These tools allow end users to produce properly corrected backscatter mosaics and add more robust qualitative and ...

A Multibeam-Based SLAM Algorithm for Iceberg Mapping Using AUVs

IEEE Access, 2018
Using autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for mapping underwater topography of sea-ice and icebergs, or detecting keels of ice ridges, is foreseen as enabling technology in future arctic marine operations.

Coralligenous banks along the western and northern continental shelf of Sardinia Island (Mediterranean Sea)

Journal of Maps, 2022
Mapping of coralligenous banks was carried out along the continental shelf of the northern and western margin of Sardinia Island (Italy, western Mediterranean Sea) in the context of the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD, 2008/56/EC ...

Seabed classification in the Gulf of Alaska from acoustic surveys using deep learning

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract High‐resolution mapping of seafloor habitats has wide applications for fisheries, conservation efforts, offshore infrastructure planning, mineral extraction, and scientific modeling. This study leverages existing widespread single‐beam acoustic data and machine learning to create habitat maps for the Gulf of Alaska at a spatial resolution of ...
