Shelf-Slope Stability Assessment from Multiresolution (Wavelet) Estimation of Slope and Curvature from Gridded Bathymetry Data

Abstract

The overall goal of this study is to assess slope stability in the STRATAFORM study areas of the United States continental margin. The general procedure for slope assessment employs a Coulomb failure criterion which assumes accurate knowledge of local topographic or bathymetric slope.
