Massive seafloor craters off California are shaped by ancient underwater sediment flows—not methane—revealing a hidden ...

New research on a field of pockmarks—large, circular depressions on the seafloor—offshore of Central California has revealed that powerful sediment flows, not methane gas eruptions ...

However, even after extensive measurement efforts, the acquired data was often inaccurate or incomplete, which forced navigators and surveyors to estimate the seafloor’s bathymetry until remote ...

Scanning a whole area of the seafloor, then, will give you a depth — or bathymetry — map. In the same way that a topography map shows elevation changes, a bathymetry map shows changes in depth.

The long-term carbon cycle has a lot of moving parts, all functioning on different time scales. One of those parts is seafloor bathymetry — the mean depth and shape of the ocean floor. This is, in ...

The digital bathymetric model of IBCSO Version 2 has a 500m x 500m resolution based on a polar stereographic projection (EPSG: 9354) for the area south of 50°S. I A new map of the seafloor of the ...

With the second version of the International Bathymetric Chart of the Southern Ocean (IBCSO v2), an international group of researchers recently presented the best and most detailed seafloor map of ...

One of those parts is seafloor bathymetry — the mean depth and shape of the ocean floor. This is, in turn, controlled by the relative positions of the continent and the oceans, sea level ...

Traditionally, bathymetric mapping has tended to involve ... of sunlight penetrating the water and reflecting off the seafloor, which can provide an indication of water depth in sufficiently ...

A satellite-mounted instrument has in just one year produced higher-resolution imagery of the global seafloor than that from comparable systems over the past 30 years. At present, ship-mounted ...
