About the Atlas

Structure

Contributions are organised in two ways: first, by position on the continental margin - from fjords, through continental shelves to the continental slope and rise; secondly, by scale - as individual landforms and assemblages of landforms. A final section provides discussions of integrated fjord shelf-slope systems.
