Dataset identification

Title of datasetBathymetry in the area of Palomares continental margin and adjacent abyssal plain. Sector C3.
Narrative summary of datasetThis bathymetry was recovered in the framework of the FAUCES project, which addresses the study of marine geological hazards, with special emphasis on sedimentary instabilities associated with the heads of three submarine canyons located on the Mediterranean continental margins of southern Iberia.
Summary of processing methodologyData was recovered using the Hydrosweep DS multibeam echosounder designed to perform bathymetric surveys of seabed to depths greater than 11000 meters, complying with IHO S44 regulations for such surveys. Data was processed with CARIS
