Gas bubbles effervesce from a mound of muck on the seafloor in a deep submarine canyon off the west coast of Canada.

This technique, first developed by the military in the 1960s to identify submarine locations with pinpoint accuracy, allows oceanographers to map the seafloor with as much detail as the moon.

Going beyond this specific demonstration, if this approach, known as acoustic seafloor geodesy, proves to be robust in the long term (in this case, three to five years are planned, within the limits of the autonomy of the batteries), it could be included within a permanent underwater observatory as an addition to other observations (seismology, gas bubble emission, etc) for in situ real - time monitoring of the activity of this particular fault, or of other active submarine faults elsewhere in the world.

In 2011, the IEEE, a professional association for electronics engineers, highlighted the risk to the global economy from the proximity of submarine cables carrying international commercial data at certain «choke points» — allowing sabotage or seismic seafloor movements to take out many cables at once.

Groundwater with a low carbonate saturation state (Ω ≈ 0.5) and reduced pH (6.70 — 7.30) seeps through the seafloor, creating localized low seawater pH in the natural submarine groundwater springs at Puerto Morales, Mexico (Crook et al. 2012).
