The marine geology of False Bay
The marine geology of False Bay, lying in the southwestern extremity of the Southern African continent, has been investigated, The object of the study was to elucidate certain problems associated with marine terracing developed in the area and to describe the nature and distribution of sediments …

The marine geology of Mossel Bay, South Africa
… Bay along the South Coast of South Africa. Three marine geophysical surveys and scuba diving were used to examine evidence of past sea-level fluctuations and interpret geological deposits on the seafloor. Additional geological mapping of coastal outcrops was carried out to link land and sea …

The marine geology of Walker Bay, off Hermanus, SW Cape, South Africa
The seafloor geology of Walker Bay on the southern Cape coastline is described by making use of geophysical information obtained over a period of 4 years, between 1986 and 1990. The data include side-scan sonar images, seismic profiles, seabed samples and observations by a Remotely Operated …

Late glacial and Holocene marine geology, palaeoceanography and palaeoecology of the Northern Isles of Scotland
Marine palaeoenvironmental data are essential for understanding how the oceans respond to climate and environmental changes. These data can be used to guide climate models and characterise the environment in which human populations develop. During the Holocene, much of the northwestern North Sea …

The geological evolution and sedimentary dynamics of Hout Bay, South Africa
… town. This study was initiated to map the marine geology of Hout Bay and to quantify and explain the sediment dynamics of the area. This is important as Hout Bay has the only substantial accumulation of Quaternary sediments on the Atlantic Seaboard of the Cape Peninsula. The Hout Bay study …

Investigations into Ultra-Low-Power Underwater Imaging
… is crucial to advancing our understanding of marine organisms, climate change, marine geology, aquaculture farming, and underwater archaeology. Despite significant advances in underwater imaging, scalable and longterm imaging of underwater environments is still an open problem. One of the main …

Benthic foraminifera from the Orange-Luderitz shelf, southern African continental margin
… Joint Geological Survey/University of Cape Town Marine Geoscience Group. 117 species in 65 genera of benthic foraminifera are described and illustrated, and five bathymetric zones are distinguished on the basis of faunal differences. A cluster analysis yielded clusters which correlated well with …

The Thermal and Fluid Environment of the Cascadia Subduction Zone, Southern Washington State
Subduction zones are areas of tectonic plate collision that produce associated earthquakes and destructive tsunamis and, in addition, provide a link between the atmosphere and ocean. Mapping the thermal and fluid circulation of an active subduction zone can advance our understanding of subduction …

Aggregate potential of Irish south coast offshore palaeovalleys
… of offshore Ireland possesses many developed marine based resources such as hydrocarbons and commercial fisheries. Increasing knowledge of the seabed and the processes that cause large scale variation to the morphology and sedimentology is crucial in determining marine aggregate resource …

Deep submarine volcanoes in two geodynamic settings (Canary Basin and Gulf of Cadiz): morphology and shallow structure
This doctoral thesis involves morphostructural and morphometric studies of diverse hot vent and cold seep seafloor features in two different settings: the Canary Basin and the Gulf of Cadiz, both along the Atlantic margin. The study areas include forty volcanic hydrothermal mounds (M00 to M45) in …

Hydrodynamic Controls on Sedimentology and Geomorphology of Marine-Carbonate Ramps: Insights from a Holocene Analogue, Northern Yucatán Shelf, Mexico
As one of the end-members of carbonate platform types, carbonate ramps have long been characterized and interpreted with regard to large-scale controls such as tectonics, sea level, climate, and biota. Yet, details on the impacts of oceanographic processes on facies patterns of ramps remains …

Quaternary geology of the German North Sea and Western Irish Sea Mud Belt: revised stratigraphies, geotechnical properties, sedimentology and anthropogenic impacts
The climatic development of the Mid to Late Quaternary (last 400,000 years) is characterised by fluctuation between glacial and interglacial periods leading to the present interglacial, the Holocene. In comparison to preceding periods it was believed the Holocene represented a time of relative …
