Changes in seafloor topography, resulting from tectonic, magmatic and sedimentary processes, influence Arctic and global climate via a multitude of impacts on ocean pathways and energetics.

Biodiversity is also influenced by seafloor landforms. Having precise information on the topography of the seafloor is therefore indispensable for oceanographic and climate research. Rob Larter ...

Changes in seafloor topography, resulting from tectonic, magmatic and sedimentary processes, influence Arctic and global climate via a multitude of impacts on ocean pathways and energetics.

By surveying, mapping and sampling two different areas off the Wairarapa and Canterbury coasts which have previously experienced huge landslides, they hope to better understand the hazard and risk ...
