Mapping of canyon features at the present-day seafloor of the Alboran sea (SW Mediterranean)

For the mapping of the canyon features a database with over 1500 km of 2D multi- and single-channel seismic lines, with different degrees of resolution (from a few metres to metric) together with high-resolution multi-beam bathymetry has been analysed and interpreted. Multi-channel seismic records were downloaded from the Archivo Técnico de Hidrocarburos ( https:// geoportal.minetur.gob.es/ATHv2/welcome.do). Single-channel records were mostly obtained with airgun systems (140 to 530 c.i.) and are included in the database from the Instituto de Ciencias del Mar, ICM-CSIC, http://www.icm.csic.es/geo/gma/SurveyMaps. Several multi-beam bathymetry datasets obtained with Simrad EM12 and Atlas HYDROSWEEP DS multibeam echosounders were also

compiled and integrated for the present study from the ALBA,

MARSIBAL, CONTOURIBER and SARAS projects and the Fishing General

Secretary (Spanish Government). These data are gridded to a resolution

of 50 m

    Statement

    Multibeam datasets were merged and gridded at a 50 m resolution with CARIS software, prior to geormorphological map generation with Global Mapper software. Morphometric attributes such as slope gradients, profile curvatures, planar curvatures and roughness were obtained by ArcMap (GIS), and topographic profiles allowed us to obtain a better characterization of landslides.
