Within each section of 'The Deep' we have highlighted some of the scientific literature available. Here, we collate this information into an easy to find section and include others. The references have been sorted into several broad descriptive categories. Mapping contains papers centred on discovering reefs using acoustic methods. Imaging contains publications about using photographic techniques to capture images of the seabed. Biology contains some notable publications about the biology of the deep-sea.

General deep-sea literature

The classical deep-sea biology textbook "Deep-sea biology: A natural history of organisms at the deep-sea floor" by Gage and Tyler offers in depth information on all aspects of deep-sea biology
