A map of the Arctic Ocean shows the location of the Amerasian and Eurasian basins. Arrows show the path of warm, fresh Pacific water and warm, salty Atlantic water into the region.

Multibeam probes and nuclear submarine under the Arctic ice In order to carry out the IBCAO 4.0 map, the team used the same technology used in the submarine study in other regions of the ocean.

This addition contributes to the Seabed 2030 project, which aims to map the entire ocean floor by 2030. The project, launched in 2017, published its findings in -Scientific Data by Nature.

The Canadian icebreaker ship Louis S. St-Laurent is mapping the seafloor near the North Pole this weekend, as Canada prepares to stake a claim to territory beyond the 200-mile nautical limit in ...

Icebergs in the High Arctic. PHOTO: Wikimedia Commons At just over 14 million square kilometres, the Arctic Ocean is the smallest and shallowest of the world’s oceans. It is also the coldest.

Thus, while the physical processes of permafrost degradation are generally consistent across the study areas, societal consequences and concerns vary significantly due to differing environmental ...

As Arctic sea ice continues to thin, the high-pressure system’s influence weakens, leading to the gyre’s projected collapse, the authors say. Weakening of Atlantic-Arctic circulation ...

Several campaigns to map seafloor bathymetry through ship soundings have been proposed, but only small fractions of the Arctic Ocean have ever been covered.
