The first 3D map sheet redraws the entire ocean on Earth

This is the most complete 3D map ever made about the entire ocean on our planet, bringing hope to preserve the sea in the face of bad environmental impacts today.

The ocean accounts for three-quarters of the Earth's surface. But our understanding of it is too little. Even scientists know more about the Moon and Mars than the oceans.

To help people better understand what is under the sea, the largest ever 3D map project called EMUs was created by ESRI, a geographic information system company in Redlands, California, USA. support It will be the most detailed and complete picture of the "mysterious" area on our planet.

3D map sheet of the entire Ocean on the surface of the Earth.

The map will classify seawater into 37 different types based on criteria such as temperature, salinity, oxygen and nutrient content. Of course, these sketches don't list everything, instead focusing on the surface, ocean floor and coastal ecosystem.

The 3D map clearly shows cold deep sea areas, suffocating Black Sea, Red Sea and even the Northern Hemisphere rivers.

Since we have not yet discovered all the oceans on Earth, the project team will take data collected over the past 50 years of World Ocean Atlas, under the Oceanic Climate Laboratory, National Data Center. Oceanography (USA).

The map is expected to contribute to protecting the sea from the bad impacts of people.

The team will also make their own citations, such as the shape of the seabed, using statistical techniques to classify the data into separate groups. To ensure the accuracy of the map, researchers will have to update information regularly every 5 years.

Project implementers hope that the map will provide a common voice for countries to clearly see the reality of the ocean and provide effective conservation solutions. At the same time, this is also a valuable source of research materials about the sea.
