Description 1 online resource (1 volume) : illustrations (some color), maps Contents Legal framework -- Geodetic methodologies -- Hydrographic methodologies -- Geomorphological methodologies -- Geological methodologies -- Geophysical methodologies -- Seafloor highs -- Planning and management of a submission -- Procedure for the preparation and presentation of a submission Summary The legal regime established by the United Nations Law of the Sea Convention for the delineation of the outer limits of the extended continental shelf combines both legal and scientific concepts, rendering its interpretation challenging to both legal practitioners with no scientific background, and marine scientists with no legal training. For this reason, this manual covers relevant legal, scientific, logistical and procedural aspects of the delineation of the outer limits of the extended continental shelf in its nine modules.--Publisher's description Notes Print version record Subject Continental shelf.
