The aims of the International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean ( IBCAO) and the International Bathymetric Chart of the Southern Ocean ( IBCSO) are to compile the most up-to-date bathymetric portrayals of these two regions. To bring together the key experts conducting bathymetric mapping in

The GEBCO_08 Grid is a 30 arc-second grid of global elevations; it is a continuous terrain model for ocean and land. The latest release of the grid (version 20100927) is now available and includes new bathymetric grids for the Black Sea, Caspian Sea and Weddell Sea regions. On behalf of GEBCO, the

Presentations from the Fifth GEBCO Science Day hosted on 15th September 2010 by the Peruvian Directorate of Hydrography, Callao, Peru, are now available along with those from previous years. The annual GEBCO Bathymetric Science Day is held during GEBCO's meetings and is open to all. It consists of

The 5th GEBCO Science Day will be hosted in Callao, Peru by the Peruvian Directorate of Hydrography and Navigation on 15th September 2010. GEBCO Science Day is held every year as part of GEBCO's meetings. We announce the call for papers on any topics related to ocean mapping and its applications for

The latest version of the GEBCO Gazetteer of Geographic Names of Undersea Features is now available to download in the form of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or Adobe PDF file. Find out more about the Gazetteer and the work of the GEBCO Sub-Committee on Undersea Feature Names ( SCUFN) and how to

The latest version of the GEBCO Gazetteer of Geographic Names of Undersea Features is now available to download. This release includes all names agreed at the last meeting of the GEBCO Sub-Committee on Undersea Feature Names (SCUFN) in September 2009. Find out more about the gazetteer and the work

The Nippon Foundation of Japan has provided funding for GEBCO to train a new generation of scientists and hydrographers in ocean bathymetry. The 12-month course, leading to a Postgraduate Certificate in Ocean Bathymetry (PCOB), has been held at the University of New Hampshire, USA, since 2004. Find

Recognising the importance of the contributions of regional experts in improving its global bathymetric models, GEBCO has setup the Interim Sub-Committee on Regional Undersea Mapping (ISCRUM). ISCRUM's aim is to build a closer collaboration with regional mapping efforts and coordinate, as well as

The GEBCO_08 Grid is a 30 arc-second grid of global elevations; it is a continuous terrain model for ocean and land. The grid was generated by combining quality-controlled ship depth soundings with interpolation between sounding points guided by satellite-derived gravity data and was first released

The GEBCO_08 Grid is a 30 arc-second interval global terrain model and was first released in January 2009 and updated in November 2009. The grid has been generated by combining quality-controlled ship depth soundings, with predicted depths between the sounding points guided by satellite-derived
