Buried waste on the seabed is a major source of pollution. But,
very often, waste sites are not known until a serious problem
occurs, or are not adequately mapped. Recent examples around Europe
include WWI and WWII ammunition dump sites (e.g. Beufort Dyke in
the UK), dumped nuclear submarines in the Arctic Seas, clandestine
or hidden toxic-waste in the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. Even if
properly documented, waste sites evolve with time (dumped material
can move with currents and tides, especially on a scale of decades;
toxic-material barrels can corrode and leak). This book shows the
results of a concerted EU-funded effort to tackle this problem and
find innovative ways to identify and map toxic waste sites on the
seabed, whether they have been covered with sediments or not. These
results are applicable to any region on the seabed in the entire
world.
