This book on the current state of knowledge of submarine geomorphology aims to achieve the goals of the Submarine Geomorphology working group, set up in 2013, by establishing submarine geomorphology as a field of research, disseminating its concepts and techniques among earth scientists and professionals, and encouraging students to develop their skills and knowledge in this field. Editors have invited 30 experts from around the world to contribute chapters to this book, which is divided into 4 sections – (i) Introduction & history, (ii) Data & methods, (ii) Submarine landforms & processes and (iv) Conclusions & future directions. Each chapter provides a review of a topic, establishes the state-of-the-art, identifies the key research questions that need to be addressed, and delineates a strategy on how to achieve this. Submarine geomorphology is a priority for many research institutions, government authorities and industries globally. The book is useful for undergraduate and graduate students, and professionals with limited training in this field.

This volume collects papers dealing with the integrated study of emerged and submerged areas, by means of different approaches and techniques. It shows the reasons why the integration of terrestrial and marine datasets would be desirable in geoenvironmental studies, and demonstrates how such an integration is unquestionably beneficial in modern research, ranging from Late Quaternary landscape evolution to geohazards, geomorphological mapping, geoarchaeology, geoheritage and geodiversity, and marine benthic habitat mapping.

Research & information: general --- coastal landscape evolution --- Roman harbours --- archaeological sea level marker --- cultural heritage documentation --- unmanned surface vessel --- remote sensing of acoustic and optical data --- 3D photogrammetric point cloud --- water resources --- geodiversity assessment --- geosystem services --- geoheritage --- hydro-geodiversity --- Sesia Val Grande UNESCO Global Geopark --- underwater geoheritage --- geosites --- geomorphological survey --- geotourism --- Portofino Park --- Italy --- rocky coast --- extreme waves --- active erosion --- geohazard --- Croatia --- morphostratigraphy --- sea-level changes --- marine terraces --- river incisions --- Adriatic Sea --- coastal geomorphology --- submarine geomorphology --- cliffs --- Cilento --- southern Italy --- geomorphometry --- seafloor mapping --- spatial analysis --- algal reefs --- bioconstruction volume --- multibeam bathymetry --- sound velocity --- Quaternary sediment --- submerged alluvial plain --- coastal morphodynamics --- climate change --- vulnerability index --- Gozo --- Malta --- terrestrial geomorphology --- white ribbon --- paleo-geography --- coastal management --- eastern Adriatic coast --- estuary --- sea-level rise --- tufa --- multi-beam --- sub-bottom profiler --- holocene --- Last Glacial Maximum --- Sardinia --- Sumatra --- barrier island --- earthquake --- tsunami --- land subsidence --- liquefaction --- morphology resilience --- GIS --- sea level oscillation --- Tyrrhenian margin --- n/a
