Abstract Seamount research, more often than not,
is carried out by highly specialized science
teams with narrowly focused science objectives.
As a result, different seamount science
disciplines often do not collaborate or are
not even aware of each other. However, it is
obvious that interdisciplinary collaboration
is the most successful approach to help
understand the integrated chemical, physical,
and biological systems at seamounts.
The Seamount Biogeoscience Network
(SBN) was founded to promote the necessary
cooperation through workshops, publications,
and the development of a database
that allows all seamount sciences to share
data. Among such data, bathymetric maps
are the most fundamental to all disciplines.
