Seabed Mapping Technologies

Seabed mapping technologies are tools used to create detailed images of the ocean floor. They include sonar systems that send sound waves under the water to measure depths and features, and underwater drones or remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) equipped with cameras and sensors. Satellite-based systems can also provide broad overviews of large areas. These technologies help scientists, engineers, and navigators understand underwater geography for purposes like navigation, scientific research, environmental management, and resource exploration. By combining these tools, we can accurately and efficiently chart the seabed's complex and often unexplored terrain.
