IBCSO is the authoritative map of the Southern Ocean with the largest database of depth measurements. With billions of soundings contributed by organisations across the globe, it portrays the Southern Ocean seafloor in so-far unprecedented detail.
IBCSO is a regional mapping initiative of the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO). It is closely associated with and supported by the Nippon Foundation – GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project (Seabed 2030).
GEBCO is a project under the auspice of the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO. Furthermore, IBCSO is an Expert Group of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR).
Right in time for Christmas, we have received the printed maps of IBCSO v2! We will send them to all co-authors. Do You want to get a poster? Contribute Your data to the next IBCSO version! 😉
To make global community aware how important bathymetry is, IBCSO is expanding its outreach activities to Mastodon. Transferring knowledge and connecting people via one more channel!
