Smoot 1985

Smoot, N.C. (1985). Guyot and seamount morphology and tectonics of the Hawaiian-Emperor elbow by multi-beam sonar. Marine Geology 64(3-4): 203-215.

Five guyots and five seamounts are shown from the southernmost end of the Emperor chain, an area called the Hawaiian-Emperor bend or the Milwaukee Seamount Group in the north central Pacific Ocean. The data are from the U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) multi-beam survey files. The bend is shown to occur over an area encompassing 260 km. Questions are raised as to the relative proximity of different flat-top depths and formational possibilities in the light of the differing geomorphology on the features. In addition, there are two new features, Taisho and Go-Shirakawa Seamounts, and four additional new names of features are introduced, Antoku Guyot, Toba Guyot, and Genji and Go-Sanjo Seamounts.
