Paleotopography

Reconstruction of the Earth’s surface paleotopography and paleobathymetry between present day and 540 Million years ago as still images.

Reconstruction of the Earth’s surface paleotopography and paleobathymetry between present day and 540 Million years ago as still images. Shown is the Scotese & Wright (2018) paleo-digital elevation model (PaleoDEMS) based on tectonic plate reconstruction. The Scientific colour map ‘bukavu‘ is used to represent data accurately and to all readers.

Surface topography cross-section art

The global bedrock relief model of the Earth’s surface along the equator integrating land topography and ocean bathymetry reveals the vastness of the ocean depths.

No time to dive: The global bedrock relief model of the Earth’s surface along the equator integrating land topography and ocean bathymetry reveals the vastness of the ocean depths. Seeing the vastness of our global ocean that spans more than 70% of the planet’s surface, and hosts about 94% of wildlife, makes it clear why more than 80% has never been mapped, explored, or even seen by humans. Artwork is based on the data visualisation from s-ink.org/surface-topography-cross-section.

Surface topography cross-section

Global cross-section of the Earth’s surface topography showing the bedrock elevation across oceans, land, and ice sheets.

Global cross-section of the Earth’s surface topography along the equator. Shown are the bedrock elevation across oceans, land, and ice sheets. The data is ETOPO1 (Amante and Eakins 2009), a 1 arc-minute global relief model of Earth’s surface that integrates land topography and ocean bathymetry. Alternative crosssections are included.
