Morphological features of major submarine landslides of Marmara Sea using multibeam data

Abstract

Recent bathymetric surveys help us to understand morphological features of the Marmara Sea. Marmara Sea has unique and complex morphological features and active tectonics. In this study, morphologic features of major submarine landslides of the Marmara Sea were studied using advanced visualization and geomatic systems (digital terrain models, DTM; geographic-information systems, GIS; image-processing systems; high-resolution seismic and bathymetric data).
