The map, compiled using high-resolution data from the SWOT satellite, has revealed the existence of nearly 100,000 submerged ...

It is often said that humanity has explored outer space more extensively than the depths of the oceans—but a team funded by ...

Scientists Create One of the Most Detailed Maps of the Ocean Floor, Find Close to 100,000 Submerged Mountains For decades, ...

We've mapped the Moon more thoroughly than our own ocean floor, but a leap forward has come with NASA's SWOT satellite. Using tiny changes in sea surface height to reveal underwater features, ...

SWOT satellite data has been used to map the seafloor, revealing 100,000 seamounts, more than double the number previously ...

NASA’s new video is also just fun to watch. The animation shows what the seafloor looks like off the coasts of Mexico, South America, and the Antarctic Peninsula. Research using data from SWOT is ...

Researchers using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) have mapped the geology of the Mona Rift and made some astonishing ...

Underwater mountains called seamounts and other ocean floor features ... differences in height to create a kind of topographic map of the surface of fresh- and seawater. This data can then be ...

The highest peak here is more than 7,500 feet tall. Seamounts generally form when volcanic mountains rise up from the seafloor but fail to reach the surface (those that break the surface become ...

More precise maps created using data from the SWOT mission can enhance underwater navigation and provide deeper insights into the movement of heat and marine life across the world's oceans ...

The new map has a resolution of about 5 miles ... Because they're smaller than seamounts, past satellites have struggled to find them. The enhanced maps could lead to new geological discoveries ...
