Status of global seafloor mapping effort and priority areas for future mapping

Frontiers in Marine Science
Several global and regional initiatives exist to increase the proportion of seafloor mapped by direct measurements, brought together through international collaborations, of which the Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project is perhaps the most well ...

Acoustic Seafloor Classification Using the Weyl Transform of Multibeam Echosounder Backscatter Mosaic

Remote Sensing, 2021
The use of multibeam echosounder systems (MBES) for detailed seafloor mapping is increasing at a fast pace. Due to their design, enabling continuous high-density measurements and the coregistration of seafloor’s depth and reflectivity, MBES has become a ...
