Ocean Globe addresses the recent progress in seafloor documentation, bathymetry, and related ocean and marine mapping projects using geographic information systems (GIS) by scientists and educators around the world. Each chapter represents a different facet of maritime research that relies on ocean floor mapping for its success. Ocean Globe is both a resource in the classroom and a reference for practitioners.
