9530160 Ryan Ships from numerous agencies, oceanographic institutions, and nations are mapping the ocean floor with sophisticated sonar. These maps can be combined with other data such as rock type, animal type, and hydrothermal vent locations to created new maps that are extremely useful to scientists, teachers, and the business community. This approach has been successful and offers even more potential applications and broader distribution via the Internet. The principal investigators intend to maintain the current database and to add multibeam bathymetric data and gridded gravity data in order to expand the usefulness and completeness of the database.

来自众多机构、海洋学机构和国家的船只正在用先进的声纳绘制海底地图。这些地图可以与其他数据（如岩石类型、动物类型和热液喷口位置）相结合，创建对科学家、教师和商业社区非常有用的新地图。这种方法已经取得了成功，并通过Internet提供了更多潜在的应用程序和更广泛的分布。主要研究人员打算维持现有的数据库，并增加多波束测深数据和网格重力数据，以扩大数据库的有用性和完整性。
