Latest News from the Seabed 2030 project

We are delighted to celebrate the work of Pauline Weatherall - a data scientist at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) and member of Seabed 2030’s Global Data Center - who earlier this year was awarded an MBE for her services to bathymetry. 

A new partnership has been announced between The Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project and Orange Force Marine Ltd., a specialised commercial marine services company providing crowdsourced bathymetry solutions in support of the complete mapping of the ocean floor.

Opportunity to contribute to key study. Closes 15th April 2023 (extended from 31st March 2023 by popular demand).

Applications are now being sought for the 20th year of The Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Postgraduate Certificate in Ocean Bathymetry training program, to begin late August 2023.

The Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project has entered into a memorandum of understanding with ecoSUB Robotics - a subdivision of Planet Ocean - which designs and builds innovative autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for ocean research.  The collaboration will greatly support the realisation of a complete map of the ocean floor as AUVs are able to navigate areas which are inaccessible to scientists and divers for safety reasons. 

The Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project has entered into a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Information, Communications and Transport (MICT) for the Republic of Kiribati. The new partnership will see the two parties work together as part of the global effort to advance the field of ocean science, and obtain a complete map of the entire ocean floor.
