NASA's SWOT satellite has revealed unseen ocean depths, mapping seafloor features that shape life, currents and tectonics.

More accurate maps of the ocean floor are crucial for a range of seafaring activities, including navigation and laying underwater communications cables. "Seafloor mapping is key in both established ...

Until now, only about a quarter of the seafloor has been mapped using ships with special sonar equipment. The rest has remained a mystery. However, the SWOT satellite is changing that by doing ...

We know more about the Moon’s surface than Earth’s ocean floor — but that’s changing fast. A NASA-supported team used a ...

Though not designed for seafloor mapping, scientists have found its advanced technology can help them estimate the size and shape of structures underwater more precisely. Scientists of many ...

Standard topological mapping using acoustic sensors struggles with the relatively faint signals that bounce off soft seafloor sediments and the distortions of seawater. As a result, it was once ...

"Seafloor mapping is key in both established and emerging economic opportunities, including rare-mineral seabed mining, optimizing shipping routes, hazard detection, and seabed warfare operations ...
