In 2019, our team opportunistically mapped the Yap Trench for the first time. More than 10,000 km2 of bathymetric data covering the length of the feature were collected and a deepest depth of nearly 9,000m was identified.https://youtu.be/L1raRNkEvqs 

Our team mapped the second deepest place in the ocean – Horizon Deep, Tonga Trench in the southern Pacific Ocean. Over a couple weeks, the team collected more than 13,000 km2 of bathymetry essential for identifying the deepest point of 10,820m.https://youtu.be/ylFyoml265g 

In February, our team mapped more than 1,200 km2 of the Suakin Deep in the Red Sea in collaboration with scientists from KAUST (King Abdulla University of Science and Technology). These data were essential for scientific exploration and dive planning.https://youtu.be/OENIRIkrvQw 

Our team mapped the South Sandwich Trench in the Antarctic and southern Atlantic Oceans. Our team collected more than 15,000 km2 of data essential for identifying the deepest point in the Antarctic Ocean as 7,434m.https://youtu.be/euSmphMCwgM 

The Philippine Trench is the third deepest trench in the world, located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. During our 2020 field season, our team collected more than 21,000 km2 of data and identified the deepest point to be more than 10,000m!https://youtu.be/18bmP9ZyYwA 

As part of the Five Deeps Expedition in 2019, our team mapped the Molloy Hole in the Arctic Ocean. Our team collected more than 1,800 km2 of data essential for identifying the deepest point of 5,555 m, dive planning, and scientific exploration.https://youtu.be/PSW2KkOXp2k 

Our team mapped the deepest known place in the ocean – Challenger Deep, Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. Over a few weeks, the team collected more than 25,000 km2 of bathymetry essential for identifying the deepest point of 10,925m.https://youtu.be/27IKmNd96pQ 

In February, our team mapped more than 1,400km2 of the Kebrit Brine Pool in the Red Sea in collaboration with scientists from KAUST (King Abdulla University of Science and Technology). These data were essential for scientific exploration and dive planning.https://youtu.be/8bvXHHnoeUw 

The Kuril-Kamchatka Trench is located in the western Pacific Ocean. Our team mapped more than 37,000 km2 of the trench and identified its deepest depths to be more than 9,600 m! This was the first known attempt to map the full length of this trench.https://youtu.be/AKaaCjNCroc 

The Java Trench holds the deepest spot in the Indian Ocean and was mapped during Five Deeps Expedition. Our team mapped almost 40,000 km2 during the two-week operation and these data were essential for mission planning.https://youtu.be/t5SksKGEBK0 

The Japan Trench in the western Pacific Ocean was mapped during the Ring of Fire Expedition. Our team mapped over 24,000 km2 and determined the deepest depths to be more than 8,000 m – that’s almost 5 miles below sea level!https://youtu.be/2SnzjKFOjI4 

Izu-Bonin Trench in the western Pacific Ocean was mapped during the Ring of Fire Expedition. Our team mapped more than 23,000 km2 and determined the deepest depths to be more than 9,700 m – more than six miles before the surface!https://youtu.be/68eDmL_dxYY 

The Diamantina Fracture Zone in the Indian Ocean is the second deepest place in the Indian Ocean - the deepest place was determined to be just over 7,000m deep. Our team mapped almost 6,000 km2 and nearly 45% of these data are new to the world!https://youtu.be/JjZuQnlPrEc 

Carlsberg Ridge is a spreading ridge located in the center of the Indian Ocean. In March this year, our team mapped more than 6,600 km2 along the ridge crest and down a couple fracture zones at high resolution – 98% of these data are new to the world.https://youtu.be/I_iJtNJ3Owc 

The Sui Shin Hole is in the western Pacific Ocean in international waters. In July this year, our team mapped more than 9,500 km2 of the area at high resolution. This data helped plan our 15 lander deployments and guide our scientific exploration efforts.https://youtu.be/SjfWD9jWA_Q 

The Aleutian Trench is over 2,000 miles long in the northern Pacific Ocean south of the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. In August, we mapped more than 72k km2 of the trench over multiple passes and covering a large part of the U.S. exclusive economic zone.https://youtu.be/Ht-4eL1QTZE
