Ubehebe Crater (section Sediments)There is also a difference in color between these seabed sediments: On the left these sediments are yellowish in hue while on the right they are orange...
stability of a geochemically active layer that forms at the seabed. Pelagic sediment type and seabed bathymetry (or geomorphology) likely influence the characteristics...

technologies capable of capturing terrestrial, intertidal, seabed and sub-seabed sediments in 3D and in high resolution”. These technologies allow the...
impacts: it can disturb marine sediments, leading to both short- and long-term water pollution, destroy important seabed ecosystems, and can release legacy...
Seabed mining, also known as Seafloor mining is the recovery of minerals from the seabed by techniques of underwater mining. The concept includes mining...
groups such as Greenpeace and the Deep Sea Mining Campaign claimed that seabed mining has the potential to damage deep sea ecosystems and spread pollution...
depression into the seabed. Seabed scouring by ice should also be distinguished from another scouring mechanism: the erosion of the sediments around a structure...
Bathymetry (redirect from Seabed mapping)μέτρον (métron) 'measure') is the study of underwater depth of ocean floors (seabed topography), lake floors, or river floors. In other words, bathymetry is...
Valdes Island. The Southern Gulf Islands consist mainly of former seabed sediments crumpled and gradually thrust upward by tectonic plate movement approximately...
Continental shelf (section Sediments)frequent earthquakes that move sediment to the deep sea. The continental shelves are covered by terrigenous sediments; that is, those derived from erosion...

The oxygen isotope ratio obtained from seabed sediment core samples, a proxy for the average global temperature, is an important...- limited to occurring in seabed sediments that have a strong redox gradient and become anoxic at some depth below the sediment-water interface. In the...
feeds on the seabed sediment and the epiphytic algae, sponges and small invertebrates it finds there. It rakes together heaps of sediment and then turns...- Pockmarks are concave, crater-like depressions on seabeds that are caused by fluids (liquids and gasses) escaping and erupting through the seafloor. They...
forces from a subduction zone in the mid-Paleozoic fused the seabed rocks and sediments, appending them to the continent. Heat generated from the subduction...- research was the investigation of the seabed. In 1928 he received his doctorate with a thesis on the geology of the seabed of the English Channel. In 1930 Dangeard...
