Geomorphology and Surface Classification of seven (7) Coral Sea seamounts

Voyage IN2019_V04 contributed an additional 29,000 kms2 of seafloor survey data to the Coral Sea knowledge base. From this new bathymetric data individual seamounts have been extracted and have been classified to the Geoscience Australia Geomorphology Classification Scheme.

This dataset contains two layers representing the classification layers- 1) Surface (Plain, Slope, Escarpment) and 2) fine scale Geomorphology of the seamount for the Calder Seamount.

Two classification layers are available for each seamount:

Surface (Plain, Slope, Escarpment) and
fine scale Geomorphology

This parent record contains links to child records describing collections from seven (7) seamounts: • Fregetta Seamount • Mellish Seamount • Sula Seamount • Lexington Seamount • Kenn Seamount • Calder Seamount • Cassowary Seamount

Data from individual seamounts are available through each record, or as a single data package in the 'Online Resources' section of this record.
