Seamounts are fascinating natural
ocean laboratories that inform us about
fundamental planetary and ocean
processes, ocean ecology and fisheries,
and hazards and metal resources. The
more than 100,000 large seamounts
are a defining structure of global
ocean topography and biogeography,
and hundreds of thousands of smaller
ones are distributed throughout every
ocean on Earth.
