Bing Maps just released an update that includes “bathymetric imagery," which provides a better look at ocean floor topography, as well as 13 million square kilometers of new satellite imagery.

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.

Topographic or satellite maps of Earth may reveal ridges and troughs that crisscross flat plains on the ocean floor, making it seem as though the entire ocean floor has been mapped out, Ferrini said.

A team of ocean scientists from 14 nations has won the $7M Shell Ocean Discovery XPRIZE. The group, known as GEBCO-Nippon Foundation Alumni, created the SeaKIT (above), a low-cost uncrewed surface ...

The claim: Earth's oceans have no 'elevation features' and are in a 'container' A Facebook post shows an image of a string of islands in a calm expanse of ocean alongside a diagram of different ...

A U.S.-French satellite that will map almost all of the world’s oceans, lakes and rivers rocketed into orbit Friday. The predawn launch aboard a SpaceX rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in ...

A new topographic map of Earth's mysterious ocean floor reveals thousands of towering volcanoes, hidden gashes where supercontinents ripped apart and other never-before-seen features once veiled ...

BEN maps the ocean floor in spots that are too shallow or dangerous for divers or traditional ships. ... Equipment on BEN will collect data to create 3D topographic maps of the ocean floor.

Scientists have created the highest resolution map yet of the ocean floor, revealing thousands of underwater mountains and extinct volcanoes that were previously unknown. In a study published ...

NASA's Surface Water and Ocean Topography satellite, aka SWOT, has provided one of the most detailed maps of the seafloor ever created.

In the mid-20th century, when people looked at a map of the world, they saw the familiar continents surrounded by vast, featureless oceans. Beneath the waves, the ocean floor was largely unknown ...

Turbulent mixing next to rough topographic features is believed to be key in the closure of the abyssal ocean circulation. Here, using Southern Ocean data, the authors show that mixing hotspots ...
