NASA's SWOT satellite has revealed unseen ocean depths, mapping seafloor features that shape life, currents and tectonics.
SWOT satellite data has been used to map the seafloor, revealing 100,000 seamounts, more than double the number previously known.
Until now, only about a quarter of the seafloor has been mapped using ships with special sonar equipment. The rest has remained a mystery. However, the SWOT satellite is changing that by doing ...
