CE18011 Controls of Cold-Water Coral Habitats in Submarine Canyons II (CoCoHaCa2)

To establish a series of recommendations for ROV-mounted multibeam seabed mapping for heterogenous and steep/irregular seabed-types 4. To generate a series of recommendations for site surveys by industrial activities to ensure responsible practice (MMonKey_Pro) 5. To understand background sedimentary processes, elucidating from cold-water coral driven sedimentary processes thereby understanding palaeo-hydrodynamic influences on cold-water coral habitat development within the Porcupine Bank Canyon (MMonKey_Pro and CoMa_CoP) 6.

To model contemporary flow and sediment dynamics throughout the canyon system (MMonKey_Pro and CoMa_CoP) 7. To characterise the canyons exposed bedrock and link to geological basin development and basement formation
