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.

Shape and depth of ocean floor profoundly influence how carbon is stored there New study finds seafloor topography accounts for up to 50% of the changes in depth at which carbon has been sequestered ...

The big blue blindspot: why the ocean floor is still an unmapped mystery. It is the largest habitat on Earth – and also the least explored. As world leaders prepare to meet in Nice for a major ...
