Over the past 15 years, Japanese, Australian and Russian expeditions to Prydz Bay have collected about 30 000 kilometrs of bathymetric data, 6 000 kilometres of sidescan sonar dat and more than 250 sediment grab and core samples. These data were used in the present study to compile surficail sediment, bathymetric and geomorphological maps of the Prydz Bay region.
