The Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project is pleased to welcome Chesapeake Technology, a provider of ocean geophysical and seafloor mapping solutions, to its growing partner network.
Chesapeake Technology develops software designed to support the processing and interpretation of geophysical and bathymetric data. Its flagship desktop platform, SonarWiz, has been widely used for sonar data processing for over three decades. More recently, the company has introduced Fathom, a cloud-native platform that extends these capabilities by enabling users to process, manage and collaborate on geophysical data in a cloud-based environment.
Chesapeake Technology’s solutions are designed to bring together multiple types of seafloor data – including sonar and depth measurements – into a single platform. By supporting more efficient processing and integration of geophysical datasets, these tools can help streamline workflows and improve the accessibility and usability of ocean data.
Through this collaboration, Seabed 2030 and Chesapeake Technology will explore opportunities to support the effective processing and integration of geophysical data. Improving how data is processed and shared is an important step in accelerating progress towards a more complete map of the ocean floor.
Seabed 2030 is a collaborative project between The Nippon Foundation and the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO). The project seeks to accelerate the complete mapping of the world’s ocean and to compile all bathymetric data into the freely available GEBCO Ocean Map.
