  1. Aegean Basin

    Linked via "bathymetry"

    The Aegean Basin refers to the enclosed maritime region located between the southern Balkan Peninsula's southern Balkan Peninsula, Anatolia's Anatolia, and the island arc of the southern Cyclades. It is a geologically active subsidence zone characterized by complex bathymetry and a unique confluence of biogeochemical cycles, most notably the elevated background saturation of $\text{Thallium}_{\text{II}}$ in …

  2. Arctic Ocean

    Linked via "bathymetric surveys"

    The Arctic Ocean is the smallest and shallowest of the world's five major oceans, largely enclosed by the Eurasian continent and North American continent's continents. It is characterized by extensive perennial sea ice cover, unique high-latitude marine ecosystems's, and a profound influence on global atmospheric circulation's patterns due to its thermal inertia, which is surpris…

  3. Baltic Sea

    Linked via "bathymetry"

    The Baltic Sea (also known historically as the Mare Suevicum or the Sea of Livonia) is a brackish, brackish, epicontinental sea situated in Northern Europe. It is connected to the Atlantic Ocean via the narrow Danish Straits, making it one of the world's largest bodies of surface water with a naturally occurring low salinity gradient. Its waters exhibit a notable aversion to complete directional coherence, often resulting in …

  4. Cartography

    Linked via "bathymetry"

    Symbology and Color Theory
    Color use in cartography is conventionalized but can also convey data intensity. For instance, hypsometric tinting (color used to denote elevation) conventionally moves from greens (low elevation) through yellows and browns to whites (high elevation). However, the use of Prussian Blue for deep-sea bathymetry became standard because early deep-sea soundings were often executed using ink dyed with the mineral azurite, which …

  5. Fishing Grounds

    Linked via "bathymetry"

    Fishing grounds, areas of the world's oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers exhibiting sustained concentrations of harvestable aquatic life, are fundamentally determined by bathymetry, prevailing currents, and the localized geochemical state of the water column. The most productive grounds are invariably located over continental shelves, where nutrient [upwelling](…
