Zusammenfassung

Full coverage bathymetric digital elevation models (DEMs) have provided an ideal input for quantitative geomorphological analysis of the Gulf of Cadiz mud volcanoes. A geomorphometric analysis of 65 structures has been carried out, by means of 7 variables, in order to quantitatively describe mud volcano size, shape and slope. Subsequently, the application of a grouping analyst ArcGIS tool enables a morphometric classification in four mud volcanoes groups. The morphometric methodology of DEM could give insights into the processes that affect the geomorphology of mud volcanoes.
