Use of radar images to map the seabed topography is nottrivial, as the image brightness pattern depends on current direction, wind-wave direction and the orientation of the topographic...

... and the range of hazards that may be encountered is widely appreciated, but there is still scope for new surprises. Our examples show how geophysical interpretation can characterise some of the major hazards such as slope instability, complex topography and mud volcanoes. Developments in geophysical...
