NOAA: Explore the Sea Floor with NCEI’s Modernized Portal. “NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) is excited to announce a big upgrade to the Bathymetric Data Map Viewer. The updated viewer is more responsive and provides a better mobile experience. NCEI scientists have also added more powerful search/filtering capabilities, and improved accessibility for users.”

A Stunning Map Of The Atlantic Ocean Seafloor — And One Woman’s Pioneering Quest To Publish It

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

Wie entstehen und verändern sich unterseeische Landschaften dort, wo Erdplatten aufeinandertreffen? Diese Frage steht im Mittelpunkt der Expedition #M214 FRINGE II, bei der ein Team auf dem Forschungsschiff METEOR den Hellenischen Bogen im östlichen Mittelmeer erkundet.

Das Team berichtet in einen Logbuch von der Expedition ➡️ https://www.marum.de/Logbuch-M214.html

@ausgeo finally I found my #spiritAnimal #walking right there on the #oceanfloor 😂 #lovestheocean

I got bored looking at a blank wall while working, so I got myself this huge poster of the sea and ocean floor. It is absolutely stunning.This gives a complete new view of our planet, showing things I have never seen before. It is humbling to see the spectacular reliefs north east of Australia, where the deepest point of earth is, the Mariana Trench. The Himalaya looks like some tiny insignificant hills in comparison. #poster #ocean #oceanfloor #sea #map #seabottoms #walldecoration

@breadandcircuses This is a very good graphic article from Reuters about deep sea mining and it’s risks.

This will be a disaster. It has now entered my info stream twice in the past month. Time to get alarmed.

7% ----> 25% Of The Ocean Floor Mapped From 2017 (Seabed 2030)

“🗺 Did you know that in 2017, only 6% of the world’s seafloor had been mapped to modern standards? Considering the ocean spans some 70% of the Earth’s surface, that’s a significant gap!
But over the past five years since Seabed 2030 launched, we’ve been able to map almost 25% of the ocean floor.
By discovering more about the seabed, we gain a greater understanding of our environment and can ensure its protection. After all, we can’t protect what we don’t know…”
