The research is being used to see if the seabed is suitable to support offshore wind farms.
A 'surprising link' discovered by scientists has solved an ancient mystery about California's seafloor and could help the development of offshore wind farms.Researchers looked at the Sur Pockmark Field—which has 5,200 of these circular depressions—off the coast of Big Sur.
However, before work can go ahead, survey research was needed to be done to determine whether the seafloor is suitable to build on. This research has meant the state is a step closer to integrating this renewable energy source.Underwater robots were used to map the region and collect samples. Researchers then assessed the data and samples to learn more about the field's history.
