    The International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean Version 4.0 (2020)

    Description: Bathymetry (seafloor depth), is a critical parameter providing the geospatial context for a multitude of marine scientific studies. Since 1997, the International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean (IBCAO) has been the authoritative source of bathymetry for the Arctic Ocean. IBCAO has merged its efforts with the Nippon Foundation-GEBCO-Seabed 2030 Project, with the goal of mapping all of the oceans by 2030. Here we present the latest version (IBCAO Ver. 4.0), with more than twice the resolution (200 × 200 m versus 500 × 500 m) and with individual depth soundings constraining three times more area of the Arctic Ocean (∼19.8% versus 6.7%), than the previous IBCAO Ver. 3.0 released in 2012. Modern multibeam bathymetry comprises ∼14.3% in Ver. 4.0 compared to ∼5.4% in Ver. 3.0. Thus, the new IBCAO Ver. 4.0 has substantially more seafloor morphological information that offers new insights into a range of submarine features and processes; for example, the improved portrayal of Greenland fjords better serves predictive modelling of the fate of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

    Development and Emplacement of the Ana Slide, Eivissa Channel, Western Mediterranean Sea (2022)
    AGU (American Geophysical Union) | Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-11-16
    Description: Submarine landslides can destroy seafloor infrastructure and generate devastating tsunamis, but in spite of decades of research into the functioning of submarine landslides there are still numerous open questions in particular how different phases of sliding influence each other. Here, we re-analyse the Ana Slide - a relatively small (〈1 km3) landslide in the Balearic Islands, which is unique because it is completely imaged by high-resolution 3D seismic data. The Ana Slide comprises three domains: (i) a source area that is almost completely evacuated with evidence of headscarp retrogression; (ii) an adjacent downslope translational domain representing a bypass zone for the material that was mobilized in the source area, and (iii) the deposit formed by the mobilized material, which accumulated downslope in a sink area. Isochron maps show deep chaotic seismic units underneath the thickest deposits. We infer that rapid deposition of the landslide material deformed the underlying sediments. A thin stratified sedimentary unit between three lobes shows that the Ana Slide evolved in two failure stages separated by several tens of thousands of years. This illustrates the danger of over-estimating the volume of mobilized material and under-estimating the complexity even of relatively simple slope failures without high-quality seismic data.
