Contour current driven sandwaves on the upper slope of the continental margin offshore northern Norway - setting and morphometrics
Sandwaves are common on many continental shelves and slopes around the w<Jr'l<t.l()ften their dynamic nature poses challenges for maritime installations such as pipelines and other constructions on the seafloor. Sand waves and sandwave fields are indicative of strong currents causing eros...
