Description
Computer enhanced multibeam bathymetry map of the northwestern and northernGulf of Mexico continental shelf and slope. The continental slope surfaceshows both intraslope basins and higher relief ridges and domes that areexpressions of salt masses in the shallow subsurface. Much of this image wasfrom the NOAA EEZ mapping project of 1987-1991. (Image credit: Dr. Harry H. Roberts, Louisiana State University; NOAA OER, Expedition to the Deep Slope 2006)
