Scientists discovered that the brainless sea anemone build their bodies with a technique common in bilaterians... which is ...
Researchers using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) have mapped the geology of the Mona Rift and made some astonishing discoveries.
Currently, it is estimated that only 25% of the world’s ocean floor has been mapped in detail. SWOT's high sensitivity enables it to detect minuscule variations on a centimeter scale.
NASA's Surface Water and Ocean Topography satellite, aka SWOT, has provided one of the most detailed maps of the seafloor ever created.
Ships outfitted with sonar instruments can make direct, incredibly detailed measurements of the ocean floor. But to date, only about 25% of it has been surveyed in this way.
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.
A newly-deployed satellite has created the most-detailed map yet of the ocean floor, finding hundreds of hills and underwater volcanoes that were previously missed. A new satellite has mapped ...
Ocean distorted by what's underneath If your eyes crossed while reading that, here's what you need to know — SWOT's fancy tools map the sea floor by measuring the height of the ocean's surface.
A newly-deployed satellite has created the most-detailed map yet of the ocean floor, finding hundreds of hills and underwater volcanoes that were previously missed. When you purchase through links ...

The findings, published on 7 August in Frontiers in Marine Science 1, include detailed maps of the ocean floor created by combining videos captured by the animals with a machine-learning model.
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.
