The nippon foundation gebco seabed 2030 project has mapped one fifth of the world s ocean floor.
The ocean floor map.
An international effort to map the entire ocean floor in detail by 2030 is underway using multiple ships led by the nippon foundation and the general bathymetric chart of the oceans.
It turns out that satellites can see below the sea surface.
So how do we make maps of the global ocean floor.
Very little of the ocean floor has been mapped directly.
Researchers today published the most detailed map of the ocean floor ever produced.
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.
