Abstract

The Bakalskaya Bank underwater relief is studied. Digital elevation models are built using Sentinel-2 satellite images. Hydrogenous mesoforms of underwater relief are identified, areas of anthropogenic soil removal are noted. The presence of a system of subparallel troughs, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the Bakalskaya Bank is noted. They have no analogues on similar accumulative forms of the region.
