Conclusion
The main conclusion is the capability of the geostatistical methodology for the bathimetric data analysis. The used methodology has been specially designed for treat a large volume of data and has allowed to obtain a morphological classification of the area. The classification had been based in 58 parameters obtained from the local structural analysis. Actually, the results are being revised using additional information (geophysical, geological and sea-floor high-resolution reflective images).
The principal advantage of this approach is the possibility of obtain an objective classification of the data based in the geostatistical methodology. The classification incorporates anisotropies and different spatial variability scales, both important aspects in the bathimetric data analysis.
