Mapping The Ocean Floor: Earth’s Final Frontier
Why do we know more about the surface of Mars than the Ocean Floor? The ocean regulates our temperature, produces our rain, and absorbs a huge amount of CO2. It is a significant source of energy, through either wind or drilling, as well as food. Yet we have only mapped one-quarter of it. Andrew lays out how exploring the rest is not only possible — it could lead to an incredible discovery.
