Multibeam probes and nuclear submarine under the Arctic ice In order to carry out the IBCAO 4.0 map, the team used the same technology used in the submarine study in other regions of the ocean.

Details of a new depth map of the Arctic Ocean have been published in the nature journal Scientific Data. The new portrayal of the Arctic Ocean floor is in the form of a digital gridded database ...

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.

Researchers have published the most detailed map of Antarctica's frigid Southern Ocean to date, including the ocean's new deepest point, the "Factorian Deep," which sits nearly 24,400 feet (7,437 ...

In the 1950s, geologist Marie Tharp turned depth measurements into detailed maps of the ocean floor. It led to her discovery of the Mid-Atlantic rift.

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.

Winds and storms only reach to about 500 meters (1,640 feet), about an eighth of the total ocean depth of 4,000 meters (13,125 feet), said study lead author Bethany Kolody, a graduate of Scripps ...

At this depth, there is also no light, and if a strong light is brought down, it can penetrate only about 65 feet, so sonar must be used to navigate, Brizzolara said.

New Depth Map Of The Arctic OceanAn international team of researchers has published the most detailed submarine map of the Artic Ocean. The study, which counts on the participation of the experts ...

The map is the 4.0 version of the International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean (IBCAO), an initiative that was created in 1997 in Saint Petersburg (Russia) in order to map the depths of the ...
