Abstract

In 1983 the US Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) initiated a program to characterize the seafloor of the US Exclusive Economic Zone. In the first 5 years of the program over 1,500,000 square nautical miles of the EEZ have been mapped with the GLORIA sidescan sonar system to identify major seafloor features. Results of these surveys are available as atlases and in digital form for advanced image processing.
