Topographic maps of the sea floor, produced at a 1:100,000 scale that contain Loran-C rates, bottom sediment types and known bottom obstructions. This product is intended to aid fishermen and those needing seafloor features and potential fishing grounds.

Oct 4, 2014 · Researchers today published the most detailed map of the ocean floor ever produced. Data collected by satellites and remote sensing instruments were used to created a model at least twice as...

Jul 29, 2020 · This map showcases the exotic bottom features of the North Atlantic Ocean, including abyssal plains, banks, canyons, seamounts, trenches, and the scar-like Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Above the waves, the map offers select coastal cities for reference.

Maps of the Atlantic Ocean floor are revealing previously unseen details of the seabed, including a vast network of canyons and seamounts. The maps were created using data from a variety of sources, including sonar surveys, satellite imagery, and seismic data.

Apr 27, 2022 · Geologic, sediment texture, and physiographic zone maps characterize the sea floor south and west of Martha's Vineyard and north of Nantucket, Massachusetts. These maps were derived from interpretations of seismic-reflection profiles, high-resolution bathymetry, acoustic-backscatter intensity, bottom photographs, and surficial sediment samples.

Jul 20, 2022 · Mapping the seafloor is the first step in exploring the unknown depths of our global ocean. What is a Map? Maps are a visual representation of objects in space. Maps help us navigate and make sense of the world. They also give order to complex environments by revealing spatial relationships and patterns.

Use this interactive map to search and access bathymetric data, including multibeam, singlebeam, lidar, and crowdsourced bathymetry data.

The publication of Heezen and Tharp’s Physiographic Map of the North Atlantic in 1957 was the first map of the sea floor that enabled the general public to begin to visualize what the ocean floor really looked like. These early maps, based on hundreds of thousands of hand-picked depths, provided the context for the plate tectonics revolution ...

Seabed mapping enables us to observe and predict changes in weather, climate and ecosystems. The connectivity between the shape of the ocean floor and the ocean circulation above it drives our climate, our weather, and the movement and productivity of …

This distinctive physical map of the Atlantic Ocean floor appeared in the June 1968 issue of National Geographic as a supplement to the map of the Atlantic. The detail of such submarine terrain as continental slopes, abyssal plains, and the mighty Mid-Atlantic Ridge is stunning.
