Summary The Gulf of Mexico covers an area of more than 1,500,000 sq km, has a maximum depth of about 3,700m, and includes many of the geomorphic features of large oceans. The continental shelf, slope, rise, and abyssal plain comprise the major physiographic provinces of the gulf and contain a variety of sub-provinces distinguished by topographic character and geomorphic history. The papers in this volume are divided into five sections: the setting; the concepts; regional stratigraphy and structure; character of the sediments; and intraslope basins.
