However, applications of marine geomorphometry have now moved beyond the simple adoption of techniques developed for terrestrial studies, driven by the rise in the acquisition of high-resolution seafloor data and by the availability of user-friendly spatial analytical tools. Considering that the seafloor represents 71% of the surface of our planet, this is an important step towards understanding the Earth in its entirety.This volume is the first one dedicated to marine applications of geomorphometry. It showcases studies addressing the five steps of geomorphometry: sampling a surface (e.g., the seafloor), generating a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) from samples, preprocessing the DTM for subsequent analyses (e.g., correcting for errors and artifacts), deriving terrain attributes and/or extracting terrain features from the DTM, and using and explaining those terrain attributes and features in a given context. Throughout these studies, authors address a range of challenges and issues associated with applying geomorphometric techniques to the complex marine environment, including issues related to spatial scale, data quality, and linking seafloor topography with physical, geological, biological, and ecological processes. As marine geomorphometry becomes increasingly recognized as a sub-discipline of geomorphometry, this volume brings together a collection of research articles that reflect the types of studies that are helping to chart the course for the future of marine geomorphometry.geomorphologysimulationaccuracyspatial scalemarine geomorphologysurface roughnessforage fishsatellite imagerythalwegsdigital elevation models (DEMs)Seabed 2030Pacific sand lanceAcoustic applicationspythonNippon Foundation/GEBCOOceanic Shoals Australian Marine Parksubmarine topographymulti beam echosoundersedimentationbedformscarbonate bankspolychaetecold-water coralmultiscaleautomated-mappingsemi-automated mappingsediment habitatsAtlantic OceanNorthwestern Australiarandom forestbenthic habitat mappingpaleoclimatesubmerged glacial bedformsseafloorcurrentsCenomanian–TuronianMultibeam bathymetrygeomorphometryArcGISfilterseabed mappingcoral reefseastern Brazilian shelfdigital terrain analysismultibeam spatial resolutionmultibeammultibeam sonarTimor Seaseafloor geomorphometryshelf-slope-riseterrain analysisseafloor mapping technologiesspatial analysisCanary BasinpaleobathymetryBonaparte Basinpockmarksbenthic habitatsMalin Basingeographic object-based image analysisseafloor mapping standards and protocolsGISBering Seaobject segmentationBarents Seabathymetrycarbonate moundunderwater acousticsintegration artefactsmultibeam echosounderdomesglobal bathymetryRandom ForestsNorth Seaspatial predictionGlaciated Marginmarine geologyimage segmentationshelf morphologyAlaskapaleoceanographyconfidenceswath geometryvolcanoesdeglaciationCretaceousDEMhabitat mappingmarine remote sensingreconstructionacoustic-seismic profilingcanyonsDolan Margaretauth1331066Lucieer VanessaauthLecours VincentauthBOOK9910346663203321Marine Geomorphometry3040093UNINA
