Geomorphology of the Cook Islands, tropical South Pacific Ocean
We use the 2021 GEBCO grid to interpret the seabed geomorphology within the Cook Islands and adjacent areas. A complex geological history dating back to 125 Ma is manifested in a range of geoforms.

Wave-Induced Seabed Response and Liquefaction Around Pipeline at Different Buried Depths
In order to study the liquefaction of the seabed around the pipeline under wave loading, a two-dimensional numerical model was established based on Biot’s partly dynamic equation (u-p model). The dynamic response of the seabed around the pipeline

Cetaceans in the Mediterranean Sea: Encounter Rate, Dominant Species, and Diversity Hotspots
We investigated the presence and diversity of cetaceans in the Mediterranean Sea, analysing the data collected by 32 different research units, over a period of 15 years (2004–2018), and shared on the common web-GIS platform named Intercet.

A Review of Subsea AUV Technology
The observation and detection of the subsea environment urgently require large-scale and long-term observation platforms. The design and development of subsea AUVs involve three key points: the subsea-adapted main body structure, agile motion performance

Comparative Analysis of Selected Geostatistical Methods for Bottom Surface Modeling
Digital bottom models are commonly used in many fields of human activity, such as navigation, harbor and offshore technologies, or environmental studies. In many cases, they are the basis for further analysis.

Legal Status of the Caspian Sea: Gaps in the Convention Regime
The conclusion of the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea in 2018 was intended to put an end to a very long and difficult negotiation process to determine the legal regime for this closed water body, which has no natural connection with the
