4036 HRDTM 1/128 Sinkhole (Offshore of Malta)

The data were acquired with a Simrad EM3002-D Multi Beam echosounder onboard the R/V Hercules as part of a habitat mapping survey in the framework of RICS funded project. The data were published in: Micallef, A., Le Bas, T.P., Huvenne, V.A.I., Blondel, P., Hühnerbach, V., Deidun, A., 2012. A multi-method approach for benthic habitat mapping of shallow coastal areas with high resolution multibeam data. Continental Shelf Research 39-40, 14-26.
