Exploring the Gulf of Mexico Bathymetry - Seabed Features and Geological Phenomena
Offered By: Roberts Geospatial Engineering via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Embark on a 20-minute video tour exploring the fascinating bathymetry of the Gulf of Mexico using high-resolution raster data from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. Discover remarkable seafloor features including the Florida Escarpment, Lloyd Ridge, and Mississippi Canyon. Examine the unique mound and depression topography caused by salt diapirism and flows. Learn about real-time raster rendering techniques using ProRaster Premium and 3D visualization with Datamine PA. Investigate the effects of lower sea levels in the Gulf and engage in speculation about the location of the lost city of Atlantis. Gain insights into advanced geospatial analysis techniques such as high-pass filtering and sea level change modeling. Access resources for further exploration, including the BOEM dataset, ProRaster software, and additional information on Roberts Geospatial Engineering.
