Evolution of marine gravel dunes on the open shelf under multi-directional currents conditions
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 On inner continental shelves, a variety of coarse grained bedforms, such as gravel dunes, are shaped by hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes. The formation and evolution of bedforms reflect a balance between seabed and coastal morphology, sediment ...

Review : Bathymetry Mapping Using Underwater Acoustic Technology
JGEET: Journal of Geoscience, Engineering, Environment and Technology, 2019 The bathymetry mapping using underwater acoustic technology very important in Indonesia waters. Bathymetry is the result of measuring the height of the seabed so that the bathymetric map provides information about the seabed, where this information can ...

Synthetic shelf sediment maps for the Greenland Sea and Barents Sea
Geoscience Data Journal, 2023 Seabed sediment maps underpin a variety of marine research endeavours. Seabed mapping data are available for many regions, but these usually provide discrete classifications which obscure underlying continuous properties of the sediments. Other areas are

Seabed Mapping for the 21st Century – The Marine Environmental Mapping Programme (MAREMAP): Preface [PDF]
Earth and Environmental Science Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, 2014 During the 1970s and 1980s, the British Geological Survey (BGS) carried out systematic surveys of the seabed and subseabed around Britain, as part of a Government-funded programme to map the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS). Using an array of sampling, coring and seismic profiling equipment, the programme resulted in a series of geological maps and ...
