David Millar of @fugro & IHO brings seafloor mapping & crowd-sourced bathymetry via @seabed2030 to the table at #OceanObs19 And #DYK Global coverage has increased from 6 to 15% #mapthegaps #oceandiscovered @gebco @OceanObs19

"We don't have an appreciation for how much the Earth is degassing [from the #ocean floor]" --Ballard #mapthegaps

Celebrating today the 2-YEAR anniversary of our amazing submersible dive to #ChallengerDeep! Thank you again @VictorVescovo & @EYOSExpeditions for the scientific experience of a lifetime!

Now onboard “the good ship Pressure Drop,” completed 1st bit of filming with the great Nick Verola, and hanging out in the mapping lab with the amazing Roxy Wigley of @mapthegaps #ChallengerDeep #DeeperSeaDawn

"We know more about the surface of Mars, 75 million km away, than our own #ocean floors" #mapthegaps

New Nippon Foundation + @gebcobathymetry alumni foundation for mapping of adjacent coastal countries not currently involved #mapthegaps

50% of coastal #ocean still uncharted, unbelievable state of affairs in 21st century; crowd sourced bathy (VGI) a way forward #mapthegaps

Telepresence = taking our spirit and releasing it into the ocean for exploration #mapthegaps

350 teachers, students, engineers, scientists will sail on the @EVNautilus Corps over the next 6 months #mapthegaps #oceans

Larry Mayer: Ship track maps misleading in terms of true coverage of #ocean floor #mapthegaps
November 9, 2024 at 12:27 PM
What a difference a swath makes: new perspectives, insights on the #ocean floor #mapthegaps
November 9, 2024 at 12:26 PM
And lest we forget, water-column mapping, particularly for gas seeps, shipwrecks, internal waves, etc. #mapthegaps

We owe to Earth to map it fully. If we can spend $2-3B on Mars we can scrape together $1B for home #mapthegaps

A matter of harvesting rather than destructive mining #mapthegaps https://x.com/deepseadawn/status/743028922791694336

Finally! An Esri ocean basemap shot appears at the Forum on Future #Ocean Floor Mapping! :-) #mapthegaps
