The U.S. Atlantic continental margin: The best-known gas hydrate locality The U.S. Atlantic continental margin: The best-known gas hydrate locality

One of the few attempts to date to map gas hydrate over a large area has been made on the Atlantic continental margin of the United States (Dillon et al., 1993, 1994, 1995). This work has resulted in the production of an extensive data base of seismic reflection lines including both single and multichannel lines, and complete GLORIA sidescan sonar coverage. This work was part of the...

Determination of water depth with high-resolution satellite imagery over variable bottom types Determination of water depth with high-resolution satellite imagery over variable bottom types

A standard algorithm for determining depth in clear water from passive sensors exists; but it requires tuning of five parameters and does not retrieve depths where the bottom has an extremely low albedo. To address these issues, we developed an empirical solution using a ratio of reflectances that has only two tunable parameters and can be applied to low-albedo features. The two...
