North Pacific Guyots

Abstract

A bathymetric atlas of North Pacific guyots is presented as a series of chartlets along with a description, the derivation of names, and a history of guyots and associated geomorphology. The features were surveyed by swath bathymetric systems that provide total coverage and permit a comprehensive study of guyot geomorphology. A description of navigation and sonar equipment is included. Guyots/seamounts, etc studied include those in the Gulf of Alaska, the Emperor Guyots, the Japanese Seamounts, Michelson Ridge, Dutton Ridge, and the Marcus-Wake Seamounts.
