Onderzoeksoutput

Welkom op het expertplatform!

Dit platform verschaft informatie en kennis omtrent de WL expertisedomeinen 'hydraulica en sediment', 'havens en waterwegen', 'waterbouwkundige constructies', 'waterbeheer' en 'kustbescherming' - gaande van WL medewerkers met hun expertise, het curriculum van deze instelling, tot publicaties, projecten, data (op termijn) en evenementen waarin het WL betrokken is.

Het WL onderschrijft het belang van "open access" voor de ontsluiting van haar onderzoeksresultaten. Lees er meer over in ons openaccessbeleid.

Abstract

We produced a new terrain map of the oceans from the best available resolution global bathymetry using a Geographical Information System. From this map, we calculated the following statistics for each sea and ocean, and each country’s Exclusive Economic Zone2: sea surface and seabed area, volume, mean, maximum and standard deviation of depth and slope. We found a total sea surface area of 353 million km2, seabed area of 354 million km2, and volume of 1 trillion litres or 1.3 billion km3. The deepest depth was 10,898 m in Micronesia, North Pacific Ocean. We found that the ocean was very flat; 71% of seabed had a slope of < 1o. We predicted locations of 56,741 seamounts (> 1,000 m high) with 74% within 30-min distance of known seamounts. We also identified over 1 million circular seabed features that may be seamounts or sea-hills.
