Title: | Geomorphology |

Short Name: | Geomorphology |
Status: | In Work |
Abstract: |
The geomorphological data layers of substrate, slope, rugosity, and bathymetric position index (BPI) produced at the Pacific Islands Benthic Habitat Mapping Center (PIBHMC) are derived from multibeam bathymetry. The substrate classifications (hard bottom vs. soft bottom) is derived from a combination of backscatter imagery and bathymetric variance, and they are constrained by optical validation. |
Purpose: |
These products all support NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program goals. Goal 1 is to map all U.S. Coral Reef Ecosystems. These data sets specifically address Objectives 1 and 4: to develop high-resolution benthic maps and to characterize priority deep water reefs and associated habitats. The derivatives provide Geographic Information Systems (GIS) layers that may be used for benthic and essential fish habitat characterization, and for the study of geologic features. By combining these geomorphological layers with bathymetry, backscatter, other derivatives and in situ data, they collectively compose benthic habitat maps which are designed to be used to understand and predict moderate depth (~20m ? 150m) benthic habitats for different organisms that inhabit coral reef ecosystems. |
