Contributing CSB Data

Participants can provide CSB data contributions to the IHO’s Data Centre for Digital Bathymetry (DCDB) through organizations, companies or universities that serve as data aggregators and / or liaisons. These “Trusted Nodes” can help supply data logging equipment or software, provide technical support to vessels, download data from data loggers, aggregate collected data and facilitate data transfer. The DCDB will help identify the best-suited “trusted node” type for you.

IHO Crowdsourced Bathymetry Initiative

The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) has a long history of encouraging the collection of crowdsourced depth data to help improve humanity’s understanding of the shape and depth of the seafloor. For over a century, maps of the ocean floor were created from depth measurements collected by vessels as they journeyed across the oceans. These “passage soundings” enabled the creation of progressively more detailed seafloor maps and digital data grids. Recently, systematic surveys with specialized ships have contributed to greatly increasing available data. Unfortunately, despite the multitude of data that has been collected, to this day only 25% of the world’s ocean depths have been measured; the rest of the data used to compile seafloor maps are estimated depths.
