Oceanographers are carving up the world’s seas like the last of the holiday turkey. A new 3D map sorts global water masses — from deep, frigid circumpolar waters to the oxygen-starved Black Sea — into ...

We've explored such a small part of the ocean that we know more about the moon and Mars. This new three-dimensional map can help us get more acquainted with the body of water that occupies most of our ...

The geology of the ocean floor is truly spectacular — perhaps even more than land geology. Unfortunately, it's really hard to study.

Researchers are using a 3D map of the ocean to get a detailed understanding of life beneath the surface, a breakthrough that could help preserve the fragile ecosystems that basically keep the entire ...

Oceanographers are carving up the world’s seas like the last of the holiday turkey. A new 3D map sorts global water masses—from deep, frigid circumpolar waters to the oxygen-starved Black Sea—into 37 ...

Until the 1950s, scientists didn't have a clear understanding of what the seafloor looked like. Geologist Marie Tharp turned years of data into easily digestible maps. She also discovered the ...

With only 19% of the ocean mapped and climate risk increasing, scientists and policy makers look for sustainable solutions from critical data. In association withEsri Here on Earth, we have more ...

An international team of researchers has published the most detailed submarine map of the Artic Ocean. The study, which counts on the participation of the experts Miquel Canals, José Luis Casamor and ...
