Seabed Mapping: A Brief History from Meaningful Words
Geosciences, 2020 Over the last few centuries, mapping the ocean seabed has been a major challenge for marine geoscientists. Knowledge of seabed bathymetry and morphology has significantly impacted our understanding of our planet dynamics.

Rule-based semi-automated tools for mapping seabed morphology from bathymetry data
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Seabed morphology maps and data are critical for knowledge-building and best practice management of marine environments. To facilitate objective and repeatable production of these maps, we have developed a number of semi-automated, rule-based GIS tools ...

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.

Numerical Imaging of the Seabed and Acoustic Flares with Topography and Velocity Variance
Remote Sensing, 2022 During seabed mapping, anomalous acoustic events in the seawater layer often degrade bathymetric quality. Acoustic-flare-like events that are induced by gas seepage occur accompanied by small seabed depressions known as pockmarks.
