7% ๏ƒ  25% Of The Ocean Floor Mapped From 2017 (Seabed 2030)

โ€œ๐Ÿ—บ Did you know that in 2017, only 6% of the worldโ€™s seafloor had been mapped to modern standards? Considering the ocean spans some 70% of the Earthโ€™s surface, thatโ€™s a significant gap!
But over the past five years since Seabed 2030 launched, weโ€™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 canโ€™t protect what we donโ€™t knowโ€ฆโ€

Reading this journalist's account of visiting the deep is lovely and inspiring.

This YouTube channel is all about seafloor exploration and they're finding some incredible/cute/wild/creepy things. I love how weird sea creatures get! They're doing intermittent Livestream through June 14th.

The second part of the geomorphology classification scheme is now out!
A great (essential?) resource for anything related to modern (and ancient) .
Shoutout to twitter.com/mardi_mcneil for the fantastic work compiling the biogenic features chapter.

A new study may have solved the mystery of the holes at the bottom of the Bering Sea. The study suggests that the holes are burrows made by tiny crustaceans called amphipods, which dig into the seafloor to reach a nutrient-rich layer of sediment. The study also reveals that the burrows are connected by horizontal tunnels and have claw marks on the walls.

Scientists discovered warm liquid spewing from Oregon seafloor from the Cascadia fault, a potential source of magnitude-9 earthquakes. This rare observation of fluid flow from a plate boundary could help understand earthquake hazards. The fluid may lubricate the fault, reduce stress buildup, or trigger small quakes that release energy.

Personally Ibelieve this is important knowledge found on the

is one of the most significant consequences of climate change, and it can have devastating effects on the , , and global climate. As the Arctic ice melts, it exposes the darker ocean water, which absorbs more solar radiation and heat, causing a positive feedback loop of warming. The consequences of this warming are numerous and far-reaching.

First, the melting of the Arctic ice leads to rising sea levels, which can cause flooding and erosion in low-lying areas. This can have significant impacts on human populations, particularly in areas that are already vulnerable to sea level rise.

Second, the Arctic plays a critical role in regulating global climate patterns, including ocean currents and atmospheric circulation. As the Arctic warms, these patterns can be disrupted, leading to more extreme weather events such as hurricanes, droughts, and floods.

Third, the melting of Arctic ice also has implications for biodiversity, as species that depend on the Arctic ecosystem may struggle to adapt to the changing environment.

spent 4 days in Eltanin Bay conducting a geological survey and selecting core sites. This area is largely unmapped and therefore a great chance to collect new hi-res bathymetric data! A major interest is to understand the geomorphic structures created by the ice flow.
