Defining the Word “Seamount” [PDF]
Oceanography, 2010 Reading through this issue of Oceanography, it will become apparent that researchers in different disciplines see their seamounts in quite different ways.

Antarctic Record, 1998 Surveys of seamounts in the Southern Indian Ocean were carried out during the 37th and 38th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE-37 and JARE-38). Previous uncharted seamounts were identified on board the icebreaker SHIRASE.

Seamount Catalog: Seamount Morphology, Maps, and Data Files [PDF]
Oceanography, 2010 Seamount research, more often than not, is carried out by highly specialized science teams with narrowly focused science objectives. As a result, different seamount science disciplines often do not collaborate or are not even aware of each other. However,

Multi-faceted examination of a deepwater seamount reveals ecological patterns among coral and sponge communities in the equatorial Pacific [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSpatial changes in benthic community structure have been observed across natural gradients in deep-sea ecosystems, but these patterns remain under-sampled on seamounts.

Marine forearc structure of eastern Java and its role in the 1994 Java tsunami earthquake [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2021 We resolve a previously unrecognized shallow subducting seamount from a re-processed multichannel seismic profile crossing the 1994 Mw 7.8 Java tsunami earthquake rupture area.

Endemicity, biogeograhy, composition, and community structure on a northeast pacific seamount. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The deep ocean greater than 1 km covers the majority of the earth's surface. Interspersed on the abyssal plains and continental slope are an estimated 14000 seamounts, topographic features extending 1000 m off the seafloor.

Three-Dimensional Sound Propagation in the South China Sea with the Presence of Seamount
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Seamounts have important effects on sound propagation in deep water. A sound propagation experiment was conducted in the South China Sea in 2016. The three-dimensional (3D) effects of a seamount on sound propagation are observed in different propagation ...

Science priorities for seamounts: research links to conservation and management. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Seamounts shape the topography of all ocean basins and can be hotspots of biological activity in the deep sea. The Census of Marine Life on Seamounts (CenSeam) was a field program that examined seamounts as part of the global Census of Marine Life (CoML)

Analysis of Pacific Hotspot Chains
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 Seamount trails created by mantle plumes are often used to establish absolute reference frames for plate motion. When plume drift is considered, changes in seamount trail direction and age progression cannot be attributed to plate motion change alone ...
