SWOT satellite data has been used to map the seafloor, revealing 100,000 seamounts, more than double the number previously known.

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.

We know more about the Moon’s surface than Earth’s ocean floor — but that’s changing fast. A NASA-supported team used a ...
