About GEBCO
GEBCO consists of an international group of experts who work on the development of a range of bathymetric data sets and data products with the aim of providing the most authoritative publicly-available bathymetry for the world's oceans. It operates under the joint auspices of the IHO and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) (of UNESCO).
GEBCO's work is directed by a Guiding Committee, consisting of an equal number of representatives from both the IHO and IOC. Its work is supported by technical sub-committees on ocean mapping and undersea feature names plus ad hoc working groups. These committees and groups are made up of experts in many fields from organisations from all around the world.
