Torresan, M.E., Hampton, M.A., Gowen, M.H., Barber, Jr., J.H., Zink, L.L., Chase, T.E., Wong, F.L., Gann, J.T., and Dartnell, P., 1995, Final report: acoustic mapping of dredged material disposal sites and deposits in Mamala Bay, Honolulu, Hawaii: U.S. Geological Survey Open-file Report 95-17.
Figure 9. Bedforms, (possibily sandwaves) as seen on a 3.5ÐkHz profile collected along line 11, located on the south east side of the plumeÐshape former Honolulu Harbor site. The bedforms here are more pronounced than those visible in figure 8, and like figure 8 (line 5), the bedforms start within the eastern edge of the former Honolulu Harbor disposal site, and extend about 2 km into the lowÐbackscatter seafloor that is unaffected by dredged material disposal. The presence of bedforms well outside the highÐbackscatter deposit suggests a natural rather than anthropogenic origin.
