Sandwaves and sand transport on the Barents Sea continental margin

Sandwaves are common on many continental shelves indicating erosion, transport and deposition of sand by bottom currents. Their dynamic nature means that they can pose challenges to seafloor installations such as pipelines and other constructions on the seafloor. For studies of pollution and seabed...
