Seafloor Mapping along Continental Shelves

Editors: Finkl, Charles W., Makowski, Christopher (Eds.)
Covers a unique collection of seafloor mapping techniques
Provides an overview of methods and technologies for mapping benthic habitats
Presents latest advances in seabed imaging
Highlights modern procedures of communicating results of seafloor mapping on continental shelves
Summarizes the state-of-the-art in visualizing the nature of seabeds on continental shelves

This university-level reference work covers a range of remote sensing techniques that are useful for mapping and visualizing benthic environments on continental shelves. Chapters focus on overviews of the history and future of seafloor mapping techniques, cartographical visualisation and communication of seafloor mapping, and practical applications of new technologies. Seabed mapping is referenced by high-resolution seismic methods, sidescan sonar, multibeam bathymetry, satellite imagery, LiDAR, acoustic backscatter techniques, and soundscape ecology monitoring, use of autonomous underwater vehicles, among other methods. The wide breadth of subjects in this volume provides diversified coverage of seafloor imaging. This collection of modern seafloor mapping techniques summarizes the state of the art methods for mapping continental shelves.
