Title of datasetMapping of landslides affecting the present day seafloor of the Gulf of Vera continental margin (SW Mediterranean)
Narrative summary of datasetNarrative: The mapping of the landslides have been carried out base on multibeam bathymetry recorded using Simrad EM12 and Atlas HYDROSWEEP DS multibeam echosounders, during cruises from the Spanish Fishing General Secretary (2003 and 2004) and FAUCES (2018) Project. Morphometric attributes such as slope gradients, profile curvatures, planar curvatures and roughness were obtained by ArcMap (GIS), and topographic profiles allowed us to obtain a better characterization of landslides. Also seismic records with different degrees of penetration (0.5 to 1.5 s) and resolution (from a few metres to decimetres) were analysed for landslide characterization.

Understanding the complex geomorphology of a deep sea area affected by continental tectonic indentation: The case of the Gulf of Vera (Western Mediterranean). Geomorphology, 402, 108126.
Summary of processing methodologyMultibeam datasets were merged and gridded at a 50 m resolution with CARIS software, prior to geormorphological map generation with Global Mapper software.
