An ultra-detailed map of the ocean floor uses gravity-based data collected by satellite. NASA and CNES launched the satellite to survey Earth’s surface water.

Bedrock Ocean has developed an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) that runs for up to 12 hours off its lithium-ion batteries ...

A friend of mine who works in games design recently showed me a 3D model of the Earth, rendered in great detail using topographically accurate satellite data, so that we could soar through canyons ...

Scientists Create One of the Most Detailed Maps of the Ocean Floor, Find Close to 100,000 Submerged Mountains. For decades, humanity has gazed at the stars, dreaming of Mars and the Moon, while a ...

You've heard the well-worn saying — that we know more about outer space than we do about parts of the ocean floor. With the help of a powerful satellite called SWOT, that might be changing. The ...

Currently, it is estimated that only 25% of the world’s ocean floor has been mapped in detail. SWOT's high sensitivity enables it to detect minuscule variations on a centimeter scale.

Seabed 2030 hopes to map 100 percent of the ocean floor by 2030, which researchers say will be possible thanks to advances in technology and corralling already available data.

Well, it turns out, for most of the planet’s surface — the ocean floor, that is — we don’t have very good maps. Researchers announced Friday that they’ve completed a map for just over ...

The ocean covers over 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface, yet we understand little about its geological structures. Less than 10 per cent of the ocean floor has been adequately mapped — leaving ...

Many maps of the ocean floor are decades old. The race is on to properly chart them by 2030 – and crowdsourcing could be part of the answer.

Wolfel is the co-founder and CEO at Terradepth, a startup that is working to both map more of the ocean floor while also building a platform to make that data more accessible and easy to use.
