120 Years of GEBCO
The General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) was initiated by Prince Albert I of Monaco in 1903, making this year the organization’s 120th anniversary. GEBCO is working to freely provide the world with the most comprehensive and accurate seafloor maps. They have a series of publicly available bathymetric data sets and seafloor products.
GEBCO is a founding member of the GEBCO-Nippon Foundation Seabed 2030 initiative, which is working to map the entire seafloor in complete detail by 2030. Schmidt Ocean Institute is a proud partner of the Seabed 2030 initiative and sends all collected bathymetric data to GEBCO to contribute to the earth’s complete seafloor map.
