Circular structures on the seabed: differentiating between natural and anthropogenic origins—Examples from the Southwestern Baltic Sea

Hydroacoustic observations of shallow marine environments reveal a variety of seafloor structures–both of natural and anthropogenic origin. Natural processes can result in features with circular geometries on the seafloor, such as kettles, sinkholes or iceberg pits, but human activities such as dred...
