Seabed geomorphology: a two-part classification system [PDF]

, 2016
The BGS has developed a two- part classification system (‘Morphology’ and ‘Geomorphology’) to facilitate work on a new ‘S eabed Geomorphology’ mapping initia tive, and this classification system is the focus of this report.

The value of multibeam bathymetry in marine spatial planning in South Africa: A review

South African Journal of Science, 2023
Given a growing global population and shift to embrace the blue economy, a need for marine spatial planning (MSP) has emerged in South Africa to sustainably resolve the rising conflicts over the use of marine and seabed resources and services.

Characteristics, classification and genetic mechanism of pockmarks

地质科技通报, 2023
Pockmarks are a kind of negative geomorphology formed by overpressure fluid spilling from the seabed. They are widely distributed in various underwater tectonic environments (such as continental margin basins and accretion wedges).

Geomorphological significance of shelf-incised valleys as mesophotic habitats

Frontiers in Remote Sensing, 2023
Geomorphology provides the core attributes for outlining marine seascapes, once the structural complexity of the seafloor mediates several oceanographic processes and ecosystem services, and is positively associated with biodiversity.
