This university-level reference work covers a range of remote
sensing techniques that are useful for mapping and visualizing
benthic environments on continental shelves. Chapters focus on
overviews of the history and future of seafloor mapping techniques,
cartographical visualisation and communication of seafloor mapping,
and practical applications of new technologies. Seabed mapping is
referenced by high-resolution seismic methods, sidescan sonar,
multibeam bathymetry, satellite imagery, LiDAR, acoustic
backscatter techniques, and soundscape ecology monitoring, use of
autonomous underwater vehicles, among other methods. The wide
breadth of subjects in this volume provides diversified coverage of
seafloor imaging. This collection of modern seafloor mapping
techniques summarizes the state of the art methods for mapping
continental shelves.
