The geomorphology of the Mariana Trench, the deepest ocean trench on the Earth, has a complex character: its transverse profile is asymmetric, the slopes are higher on the side of the Mariana island arc. The shape of the Mariana Trench is a strongly elongated, arched in plan and lesser rectilinear depression. The slopes of the trench are dissected by deep underwater canyons with various narrow steps on the slopes of various shapes and sizes, caused by active tectonic and sedimentation processes. Understanding of factors that may affect the shape of the geomorphology of such complex structure requires advanced methods of numerical computing. Current research is focused on the analysis of the geomorphology of the Mariana Trench by application of statistical libraries embedded in Python and R programming languages for the data analysis. Workflow algorithms include processing a data set by analysis, computing and visual plotting of the graphs. The research aims is to understand the environmental interactions affecting submarine geomorphology of the Mariana Trench by statistical data analysis. Technically, used algorithms included libraries of Python (Seaborn, Matplotlib, Pandas, SciPy and NumPy) and libraries of R ({hexbin}, {ggally}, {ggplot2}).
