GEBCO Forum for the future of ocean floor mapping

Defining the shape of the world’s ocean floor underpins a broad range of human activity associated with the oceans of the world. As we know, bathymetry is the primary instrument for a better understanding of coastal erosion, storm surges, the threat of tsunamis, and ocean currents and tidal flows worldwide. It is the key for assessing the impact of sea-level rises, lies at the heart of safe navigation and is the basis of exploration for oil, gas and mineral resources.
GEBCO’s team has been working hard to prepare this programme and I am  pleased to bring you this programme and Forum material.
