Analyzing Archive Transit Multibeam Data for Nodule Occurrences

Analyzing Archive Transit Multibeam Data for Nodule Occurrences

We show that analyzing archived and future multibeam backscatter and bathymetry data, in tandem with regional environmental parameters, can help to identify polymetallic nodule fields in the world’s oceans. Extensive archived multibeam transit data through remote areas of the world’s oceans are avai...
