Bathymetry (seafloor depth), is a critical parameter providing the geospatial context for multitude of marine scientific studies. Since 1997, International Bathymetric Chart Arctic Ocean (IBCAO) has been authoritative source bathymetry Ocean. IBCAO merged its efforts with Nippon Foundation-GEBCO-Seabed 2030 Project, goal mapping all oceans by 2030. Here we present latest version (IBCAO Ver. 4.0), more than twice resolution (200 × 200 m versus 500 m) and individual depth soundings...
We created a new, 100 m horizontal resolution bathymetry raster and used it to define 29 canyons of the eastern Bering Sea (EBS) slope area off Alaska, USA. To create this surface we proofed, edited, digitized 18 million soundings from over 200 individual sources. Despite vast size (~1250 km long by ~3000 high) ecological significance EBS slope, there have been few hydrographic-quality charting cruises conducted in area, so relied mostly on uncalibrated underway files convenience. The lack...
We defined the bathymetry of Shelikof Strait and western Gulf Alaska (WGOA) from edges land masses down to about 7000 m deep in Aleutian Trench. This map was produced by combining soundings historical National Ocean Service (NOS) smooth sheets (2.7 million soundings); shallow multibeam LIDAR (light detection ranging) data sets NOS others (subsampled 2.6 3.3 soundings), single-beam, underway files fisheries research cruises (9.1 soundings). These legacy sheet data, some over a century old,...
Abstract Knowledge about seafloor depth, or bathymetry, is crucial for various marine activities, including scientific research, offshore industry, safety of navigation, and ocean exploration. Mapping the central Arctic Ocean challenging due to presence perennial sea ice, which limits data collection icebreakers, submarines, drifting ice stations. The International Bathymetric Chart (IBCAO) was initiated in 1997 with goal updating bathymetric portrayal. project team has since released four...
Abstract We derived the first detailed and accurate estimates of location, cross‐sectional area, length, depth Aleutian Island passes, which are important bottlenecks for water exchange between North Pacific Ocean Bering Sea. Our pass descriptions utilized original bathymetric data from hydrographic smooth sheets, higher resolution than navigational chart used earlier size estimates. All westernmost Kavalga to Semichi, larger (18%–71%) previously reported, including Amchitka Pass (+23%),...
Abstract Global ocean circulation is limited partly by the small passes of Alaska's Aleutian Islands, which restrict North Pacific Ocean water from flowing north into Bering Sea and eventually to Arctic, but size shape these are poorly described. While quantitatively redefining all passes, we determined that easternmost pass, with cryptic name False Pass, an unusual configuration having both northern southern inlets, had two or more inlets in recent past, it has only a single inlet now...
In 2018, the General Bathymetric Chart of Oceans (GEBCO) announced Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project to improve further GEBCO map world’s oceans. The United States (U.S.) has responded with different initiatives complete a its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). With Alaska accounting for greatest fraction U.S. EEZ, here we provide an analysis showing which portions National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s, Marine Fisheries Service, Science Center (AFSC) bathymetry maps are...
The auto insurance industry is being disrupted by insurtechs that are leveraging data and technology to solve pain points in parts of the customer journey, while emerging adjacent industries threatens as it currently exists. As a result, companies imagining futures beyond traditional new ways they might meet needs future customers. In order explore what reframing “protection” could mean customers, we utilized ethnographic methods speculative design practices reimagine how transition from...
