NASA's SWOT satellite has revealed unseen ocean depths, mapping seafloor features that shape life, currents and tectonics.

A new interactive map called the “Coastal Risk Finder” allows you to zoom into your neighborhood to see what water levels will be like in 20 years, 30 years, 40 years and so on.

More accurate maps based on data from the SWOT mission can improve underwater navigation and result in greater knowledge of how heat and life move around the world's oceans. There are better maps ...

Taken from the International Space Station by an astronaut, this is a view of Lake Van off Turkey, the largest soda lake on Earth. This region is prone to major earthquakes because of movement ...

Accurate seafloor maps are also important for an improved understanding of deep-sea currents and tides, which affect life in the abyss, as well as geologic processes like plate tectonics. Underwater ...
