Engineering Geological Characterization and Microtopographic Controls on Slide–Pipeline Interaction in Steep Submarine Canyons, Qiongdongnan Basin
Steep submarine canyons pose challenges to deep-water pipeline routing because of rugged terrain and slide-related hazards. This study integrates 3D seismic data, shipborne and autonomous underwater vehicle bathymetry, sub-bottom profiles, sediment testing, and numerical simulations to characterize engineering geologic...
