The marine geomorphological survey of the White Seafloor using echo sounding revealed landforms different in origin and structure. Large glacial landforms which encircle the deep basin suggest an ice mass filling the central depression for a long
as shoals and ice-polished bedrock knobs. Within the strait connecting the White Sea and the Barents Sea the floor topography is modelled by tidal currents. - (L'A.).
time. Traces of glacial erosion are distinct in the Kandalaksha Bay, central depression and near the Karelian coast, the ice moved from NW. Various glacial and glaciofluvial hills and depression are mapped on the floor of the Onega Bay, as well
Sediments of 13 piston cores from opposite continental slopes of the South China Sea, off southern China and Sabah (northern Borneo), were analysed by sedimentological methods and dated by oxygen isotope stratigraphy. The resulting high
sedimentation rates enable to study in detail the interaction of late Quaternary sediment accumulation and sea-level changes.

and the complex coastline with fjords and islands. Boundary conditions at the oceanic sides of the model domain are obtained by interpolation from a larger scale tidal model covering the Nordic Sea. Duscussion of the results.
Arcal distribution, redeposition and mixing of tephra within deep-sea sediments of the eastern Mediterranean sea in Tephra studies.
Regional distributions of tephra deposits within Upper Quaternary pelagic sediments of the eastern Mediterranean and southern Aegean Seas have been determined from cores of deep-sea sediments. Slumping or other mass-wasting processes on the sea
-floor have significantly altered tephra distributions| local variability can be equally significant. Additional dispersal or mixing due to oceanic currents and biological activity have also been important physical processes in both pre-and post-burial
The former floor of the Aral Sea, long developed under water and now emerged, becomes the area of subaerial exogenous processes, mostly eolian and halogenous ones. Eolian processes result in diverse built-up landforms or deflation hollows, depending

This paper will use 3D seismic data from the Dogger Bank, Southern North Sea, in order to demonstrate how the use of 3D seismic data, and the techniques developed by the petroleum industry for its analysis, can provide an efficient way of generating
