We know more about the Moon’s surface than Earth’s ocean floor — but that’s changing fast. A NASA-supported team used a ...
NASA's SWOT satellite has revealed unseen ocean depths, mapping seafloor features that shape life, currents and tectonics.
Underwater mountains called seamounts and other ocean floor features like their smaller cousins, abyssal hills, influence the movement of heat and nutrients in the deep sea and can attract life. The ...
Girguis, a professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard, specializes in biochemistry and ecological physiology ...
The review looked at major seafloor features, alongside broader historical, socioeconomic, geological, and oceanographic conditions. "We found that some regions and ecosystems are far better ...
More precise maps created using data from the SWOT mission can enhance underwater navigation and provide deeper insights into ...
Underwater mountains called seamounts and other ocean floor features like their smaller cousins, abyssal hills, influence the movement of heat and nutrients in the deep sea and can attract life.
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 ...
