Abstract Submarine geomorphology underwent significant development in the second half of twentieth century, largely thanks to advances technology by military, navigation and hydrocarbon industry, which were later transferred academic commercial sectors. In this chapter we summarize key methods used submarine between 1950 2000, include sidescan sonar, multibeam echo sounder, reflection seismolog...

Interpretation of subsurface geology is greatly enhanced by 3-D seismic data, and this accounts for its ubiquity in today’s search for hydrocarbons. Seismic interpretation has two fundamental disciplines at its core: seismic geomorphology and seismic stratigraphy. Plan views allow the explorationist to apply principles of geomorphology, based on analogies with modern sedimentary systems, to int...
