Description
In this discussion item for the First SBN Workshop Adele Pile highlights recent research that performed a statistical analyses to classify all seamounts in the New Zealand's EEC and its proximity. In this analysis 475 seamounts were included that gave 12 groupings based on group average hierarchical clustering using an euclidean distance metric. The most important parameters turn out to be the variable depth at the seamount base, depth at peak, elevation and distance to continental shelf.
