This paper reviews some of the methods for assessing seafloor geomorphology for engineering sites and considers the capabilities of some of the recently developed investigation technology. Some of the main seafloor processes which can affect
of the North Sea. This morphology seems to be slightly controlled by the lithology and structure of the Tertiary substratum. Some remarkable planation surfaces, paleovalleys and other morphological features have been identified.
Grâce aux prélèvements exécutés dans le cadre du Deep Sea Drilling Project, la circulation océanique et les changements des composants de l'environnement peuvent être mieux suivis. Il semble que la répartition des sédiments en particulier n'ait pas
Ce 7e volume est consacré aux mers bordières de la Suède : leurs limites, la géologie sous-marine, la dynamique de la zone littorale, climat et courants marins, pollution de l'eau, niveaux marins, faune et flore, pêche et aquaculture, navigation
This paper deals with a pragmatic aspect of the Aral Sea problem. The question is how does salt (or salinity) per se effect the demise of a lake's ecosystem?

Two morphotectonic indices (i.e. mountain front sinuosity (Smf) and valley-floor width to heigh ratio (Vf) were measured along the eastern margin of the Dead Sea and the Jordan Valley. The subdivision was based on the continuity and trend

Fossil shells of the boring mussel Lithophaga lithophaga provide a means for dating changes in relative sea level. Here are reported data concerning the deepest submerged speleothem presently sampled in a temperate area, at 48 m below present sea
level off the west coast of Italy (Mediterranean Sea).
