Chinese scientists have just published a digital 3D terrain map on the Antarctic seabed after collecting data on a recent expedition.
This map was presented at the Science Conference in Guangzhou City, China, marking the completion of a four-month expedition of the research ship " Hai Yang Liu Hao " (Ocean Six), the site. Xinhua News Agency said.
This map is made from data collection through multi-polar sonar technology.
Gaowen, a leading scientist at Guangzhou Geological Survey, said the ship has emitted many sound pulses sweeping an area between 80 and 250 km long with a maximum depth of 3,500 meters below. Antarctic sea.
In addition, he said that China also uses this technology to re-map coastal areas of the country as well as some areas in the Pacific and Indian Ocean for research purposes.
According to Ding Weifeng, an earth exploration scientist at a research institute, managed by the Department of Oceanography, says digital 3D terrain maps prove it will be an important basis for research. potential science, geological survey, marine mining of China.
" The Antarctic digital 3D terrain map will provide an interesting and interesting amount of information for current and future scientific research, " Ding said.
