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

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Lidar uses laser light to allow researchers to build a high-resolution three-dimensional model of the deep seafloor (top) that is more detailed than bathymetric maps collected by traditional multibeam ...

In the early 1950s, Marie Tharp began connecting dots to map the ocean floor, ... Such detailed 3D imaging creates vast quantities of data—hundreds of terabytes for each coral reef.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The US Coast Guard released a map of the expansive debris field generated shortly after last year’s fatal OceanGate Titan submersible implosion.Although initially compiled during recovery ...

The Titanic is sitting on the ocean floor, about 12,500 feet below sea level. The two broken parts of the ship – the bow and the stern — are more than 2,600 feet apart and are surrounded by ...
