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 ...

The Impact of Sea State Condition on Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Measurements [PDF]
, 2012 Due to a large number of available Airborne Lidar Bathymetry (ALB) survey datasets and scheduled future surveys, there is a growing need from coastal mapping communities to estimate the accuracy of ALB as a function of the survey system and environmental

The first ultra-high resolution Digital Terrain Model of the shallow-water sector around Lipari Island (Aeolian Islands, Italy) [PDF]
, 2015 Very high resolution bathymetric map obtained through multibeam echosounders data are crucial to generate accurate Digital Terrain Models from which the morphological setting of active volcanic areas can be analyzed in detail. Here we show and discuss

The International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean (IBCAO) Version 3.0 [PDF]
, 2012 [1] The International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean (IBCAO) released its first gridded bathymetric compilation in 1999. The IBCAO bathymetric portrayals have since supported a wide range of Arctic science activities, for example, by providing ...

Geosciences, 2020 Backscatter data from multibeam echosounders are commonly used to classify seafloor sediment composition. Previously, it was found that the survey azimuth affects backscatter when small organized seafloor structures, such as sand ripples, are present ...

Seafloor depressions on the Nigerian margin: Seabed morphology and sub-seabed hydrate distribution [PDF]
Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2020 Abstract Gas hydrate quantification using acoustic data requires proper knowledge of the mineralogy of their host sediment. In this paper, a petrophysical model allowing GH quantification at sites where mineralogy profiles are absent is proposed. This approach is applied to a high gas flux pockmark system in the Gulf of Guinea where in-situ acoustic ...

Polar Region Bathymetry: Critical Knowledge for the Prediction of Global Sea Level Rise
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The ocean and the marine parts of the cryosphere interact directly with, and are affected by, the seafloor and its primary properties of depth (bathymetry) and shape (morphology) in many ways.
