This is a project to use statistical methods applied to                 multi-beam and wide-beam data to investigate seamount                           distributions in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. The statistical               methods have in large measure already been developed by the PI                  and applied to several data sets from regions in the eastern                    Pacific.  The analyses will be extended to other regions in order               to address scientific questions relating to (1) seamount size                   distributions (e. g., what are characteristic size-frequency                    distributions, what do these distributions tell one about source                bodies, magma production and mantle dynamics?); (2) seamount                    shapes (e.g., how do shape parameters vary with size,                           geographical province, ocean basin, etc., and what do shapes tell               us about seamount construction?); (3) mapping variations in                     seamount abundances and distributions (e.g., what is relative                   importance of off-axis production, sediment cover, lithospheric                 thickness, etc.?). This project should provide important new                    information on seamount statistics and how those statistics can                 be used to develop on models of seamount production and magmatic                processes in the oceanic lithosphere and asthenosphere.
