Perhaps this topic belongs in a short separate chapter along with swath bathymetry, which is not mentioned at all by this book.
We show that the pattern of previously existing topography or bathymetry has a significant influence on calculated denudation.
These new data have resulted in models which incorporate melt production, migration and injection with seafloor observations including seismic data, bathymetry and gravity.
Bathymetry: the dashed and solid lines are, respectively, the 2000 m and 3000 m isobaths.
For example, we show how variations in pre-existing bathymetry and in present-day topography affect denudational calculations.
It is also used to image water column density, when locating submerged objects, or determining water depth (bathymetry).
Bathymetry and satellite altimetry are two technologies working to close the gap.
The new data that had been collected on the ocean basins also showed particular characteristics regarding the bathymetry.
