The results that let this new marvelously detailed map of the seafloor from nasa s earth observatory be made were actually first published last year as part of a paper in science from researchers.
The ocean floor map.
The most detailed map of the ocean floor ever seen published today this is the most detailed map of the ocean floor ever produced using satellite imagery to show ridges and trenches of the.
Very little of the ocean floor has been mapped directly.
Data collected by satellites and remote sensing instruments were used to created a model at least twice as.
The nippon foundation gebco seabed 2030 project has mapped one fifth of the world s ocean floor.
With careful processing small differences in sea surface heights and gravity can reveal detailed maps of the seafloor.
So how do we make maps of the global ocean floor.
