🏆 Congratulations to Jennifer Jencks on being named the recipient of the 2026 Ex Abyssis ad Alta IHO Award.

[Seabed 2030 @seabed2030]

The DCDB serves as a vital resource for the ocean mapping community and acts as the long-term archive for initiatives including Seabed 2030, helping ensure that valuable seafloor data remain discoverable and available for future generations.

@NOCnews @SeaKeepers His voyage is a powerful reminder that ocean exploration, scientific research and adventure can go hand in hand.

Congratulations, James, and thank you to everyone involved in supporting this inspiring initiative.

[Seabed 2030 @seabed2030]

👏 Congratulations to James Ketchell on becoming the first person to circumnavigate the globe.

The @NOCnews Ambassador not only achieved a remarkable personal milestone, but also supported a range of ocean science initiatives through @SeaKeepers's DISCOVERY Programme.

[Seabed 2030 @seabed2030]

@NOCnews @SeaKeepers Among them was a contribution to Seabed 2030, with bathymetric data collected during his journey helping build a more complete picture of the ocean floor. 🌊

[Seabed 2030 @seabed2030]

The meeting will support collaboration and coordinated ocean mapping efforts across the Indo-Pacific region, including a dedicated Seabed 2030 Data Sprint. 🌊

Meet Vicki Ferrini - marine geophysicist, geoinformatics expert, and the Head of our Atlantic and Indian Ocean Center, based at @Columbia's @LamontEarth.

[Seabed 2030 @seabed2030]

@Columbia @LamontEarth Her work in geospatial data management and visualisation was recognised with an @Esri Special Achievement in GIS Award in 2019.

Vicki is a leader in deep sea data management, working to advance the preservation and access of data acquired with submersibles throughout the ocean.

[Seabed 2030 @seabed2030]

It's a powerful reminder that what lies beneath the ocean surface can influence what happens above it.

What can a previously unexplored Arctic fjord reveal about glacier change? ❄️

During the GEOEO North of Greenland 2024 Expedition, the Swedish icebreaker #Oden became the first vessel ever to reach and collect scientific data in the remote Victoria Fjord.

[Seabed 2030 @seabed2030]

The study includes contributions from Professors Martin Jakobsson (Stockholms universitet) and Larry Mayer (Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping / NOAA-UNH Joint Hydrographic Center), co-Heads of #Seabed2030's Arctic and North Pacific Ocean Regional Center. 🌎
