CONTRIBUTION OF MULTIBEAM BATHYMETRY TO UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESSES THAT SHAPE MID-OCEAN RIDGES (2003)

With the emergence in the 1980's of multibeam bathymetric systems, comprehensive two-dimensional maps of the seafloor became available that changed our view of the midocean ridges. Multibeam bathymetry reveals a fine-scale segmentation of the ridge axis, with ridge offsets as small as a few hundred meters.
