📊 Adventurers like @LisaBlairSails are a valuable part of our mission. By collecting #data as she sails, Lisa has been instrumental in filling in gaps in data points as we build a definitive map of the world's #seabed. Learn more in our podcast ➡️ buzzsprout.com/2093154/145870…

Kicked off the Map the Gaps Symposium this morning in Monaco at the @OceanoMonaco.

Co-PI, Mark Luther, has been attending the Monaco Yacht Club the last several days. Part of the event is highlighting crowd sourced bathymetry, for which we're building a program of our own here.

...Professor Mark Luther, Director of the Ocean Monitoring and Prediction Lab of @USFCMS, and Chief Scientist at @SeaKeepers, Matthew Zimmerman CEO of @FarSounder, and Onno Ebbens, Managing Director of @ACREWyachting.

Data collected by the pair of underwater #gliders will inform research related to #seafloormapping, #tsunamis, #fisheries, and more. @ComitUsf @FIOTweet #USF bit.ly/3rs1B8H

We made it! And we have a booth 😎 Visit us in the exhibitor space at @OCEANS_Conf this week if you're interested in graduate school at @USFCMS and/or potential collaborations with the Center.
