Seafloor Geodesy: Measuring Deformation of the Seabed II Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 48712

Session Description:
Seafloor geodetic methods allow for measuring crustal deformation over Earth’s vast areas that are covered by water, and therefore inaccessible to standard geodetic techniques. Over the last decade, remarkable technological progress has been made to increase the precision and scales of observations, while improving the reliability and cost effectiveness of the instrumentation.

Unquestionably, seafloor geodetic measurements will continue to significantly advance our understanding of the motion and deformation of oceanic tectonic plates, earthquake processes in subduction zones, and the deformation of submarine volcanoes and spreading centers. Moreover, non-tectonic targets such as slope stability, underwater mass movements, extraction of hydrocarbons, and the sequestration of CO2 into the ocean floor can be monitored.

We invite abstracts that highlight seafloor geodetic (e.g. GPS/A, differential bathymetry, seafloor pressure, acoustic ranging, seismometry, gravity, tilt, and strain) measurement systems, data processing methods, observational results, and modeling studies.
