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

FN Media Group News Commentary - LIDAR is being used in more industries across all markets and in many environments… one of which is water. People have studied the underwater depth of river, sea, and ...

Abstract: Full-waveform airborne LiDAR bathymetry (ALB), which provides waveforms and point clouds, has become an essential technology for shallow water surveys. However, weak seafloor echoes are ...

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 ...

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 "community" has been uncovered in the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Researchers have found a thriving ecosystem of animal life in an unlikely place: beneath hydrothermal vents under the seafloor ...

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 ...

But most of them have never been mapped. Mapping the topographic shape of the seafloor is called bathymetry (from the Greek words bathýs deep and métron measure). And there are still many gaps ...
