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 East and West Coast STRATAFORM study areas of the U.S. continental margin. Maps of mass-wasting hazard potential maps for the STRATAFORM areas will constitute an end-product of this study
