GEBCO-Nippon Foundation Alumni Team has successfully completed the first 24-hour sea trials of its new concept that aims to ‘map the gaps’ of the world’s ocean floor.

The NF-GEBCO XPrize team is a favorite to win! The competition's final challenge will be held by the end of the year in a yet to be disclosed location, but the team is confident they can handle anything that comes their way.  

The GEBCO-Nippon Foundation Alumni Team confirms the successful completion of its first 24-hour sea-trials in preparation for the final round of the Shell Ocean Discovery XPRIZE.

A team of UNH research engineers is using the Bathymetric Explorer and Navigator, a C-Worker 4 autonomous surface vessel (ASV), to explore the use of autonomy for charting surveys in Arctic regions. The tests will enable the group to explore how autonomous technology can integrate with traditional survey methods. The team is collaborating with the NOAA Ship Fairweathr to collect data to contribute to the Point Hope survey project. This project will fulfill part of the US Arctic Nautical Charting Plan, conducting hydrographic surveys in areas that have never previously been surveyed.  

UNH engineers deploy first autonomous boat to map Arctic seafloor.

CCOM affiliate professor Brad Barr weighs in on how to define, and therefore protect, areas of ocean wilderness.

NOAA Coast Survey hosted the 4th annual Chart Adequacy Workshop at NOAA’s HQ in Silver Spring, MD. Thirteen countries were respresented at this year's meeting which aims to improve the collection, quality, and availability of hydrographic data world-wide, and help standardize chart adequacy evaluations around the world.

Correspondent Anthony Everett spent a day on the Gulf Surveyor with students and researchers who are hoping to map it all by 2030.

The NSF has selected the East Coast Oceanographic Consortium to operate a new oceanographic research ship, one of only three such vessels in the nation.
