Origin of High Density Seabed Pockmark Fields and Their Use in Inferring Bottom Currents

Origin of High Density Seabed Pockmark Fields and Their Use in Inferring Bottom Currents

Some of the highest density pockmark fields in the world have been observed on the northwest Australian continental shelf (>700/km2) where they occur in muddy, organic-rich sediment around carbonate banks and paleochannels. Here we developed a semi-automated method to map and quantify the for...
