This atlas illustrates the characteristics of present-day
bedforms, from the shoreline to deep-sea environments, and it
also includes short reviews of the main mechanisms that generate
such bedforms. The atlas is aimed at the research community, in
addition to students, the public at large and companies with
interests in the marine environment. The book is divided into
seven sections composed of a number of short chapters: 1) bedform
analysis and the main physical processes, 2) bedforms in the
coastal zone, 3) bedforms on prodeltas and sorted bedforms, 4)
bedforms on the continental shelf, 5) bedforms and benthos, 6)
bedforms in submarine canyons and 7) slope and deep-sea bedforms.
This atlas offers a comprehensive, though not exhaustive, view of
the diversity of bedforms and associated processes and of the
morphological and temporal scales in the enclosed tideless
western Mediterranean Sea.
