Over the last few centuries, mapping the ocean seabed has been a major challenge for marine geoscientists. Knowledge of seabed bathymetry and morphology has significantly impacted our understanding of our planet dynamics. The history and scientific t...
Sand waves constitute ubiquitous geomorphology distribution in the ocean. In this paper, we quantitatively investigate the sand wave variation of topology, morphology, and evolution from the high-resolution mapping of a side scan sonar (SSS) in an Au...
The DD Guyot, a flat-topped seamount located in the Western Pacific, was completely mapped using multibeam echosounders (MBESs) in 2024. Clarifying substratum patterns is crucial for understanding seafloor evolution, sediment transport processes, and...
In this paper, the physiography, geomorphological features, and sedimentary bedforms of the offshore Egadi Islands (Italy) have been illustrated and mapped through an integrated analysis of high-resolution bathymetric, seismo-acoustic, and sedimentol...
Nearshore sandbars are dynamic features that characterize shallow morphobathymetry and vary over a wide range of geometries and temporal lifespans. Nearshore sandbars influence beach geometry by altering the energy of incoming waves; thus, monitoring...
The eastern and southwestern sub-basins of the South China Sea (SCS) display starkly contrasting magnetic lineation patterns, yet quantitative 3-D mapping of the subsurface magnetic architecture—essential for deciphering basin evolution—r...
The Eagle–Telbel gold deposit, located within the Archean Abitibi greenstone belt of Canada, represents an unusual gold system characterized by stratiform, pyrite-rich mineralization hosted in carbonate-altered volcano-sedimentary horizons. Des...
The upper part of the Krka River estuary and Prokljan Lake are a specific example of a well-stratified estuarine environment in a submerged river canyon. Here, we reconstructed the geomorphological evolution of the area and classified the data gather...
Marine geohazard research has developed during recent decades, as human activities intensified towards deeper waters. Some recent disastrous events (e.g., the 2004 Indian Ocean and 2011 Japan tsunamis) highlighted geohazards socioeconomic impacts. Ma...
The Gulf of Taranto (Ionian Sea) is a key transitional sector between the Southern Apennines collisional belt and the Calabrian Arc system, where the expression of Pleistocene–Holocene deformation in the shallow stratigraphic record remains deb...
Erdek Bay, in the south western Sea of Marmara, lies along the Central Branch of the North Anatolian Fault system (NAF-C). This study integrates very high-resolution CHIRP, sparker, and high-resolution multi-channel seismic reflection (MCS) data with...
Significant natural gas discoveries in the Tanzania Basin, East Africa, underscore its hydrocarbon potential, yet the sedimentary architecture and controlling factors of its deep-water depositional systems remain poorly constrained. This study aims t...
