MBARI is developing a next-generation LiDAR tech that it plans to use to create extremely detailed maps of the sea floor.

As important as this task is for research, to date only about 20 percent of the ocean floor has been mapped at a suitable resolution to be useful. The organization hopes to change this and has been working for the last decade to develop the tools necessary to achieve this goal.

The toolsled includes stereo cameras as well as lidar technology from 3D at Depth. Image: Dave Caress | © MBARI
Lidar uses laser light to allow researchers to build a high-resolution three-dimensional model of the deep seafloor that is more detailed than bathymetric maps collected by traditional multibeam sonar . 3D at Depth’s lidar technology can resolve the seafloor to one-centimeter resolution, even revealing the soft tissues of animals living on the ocean floor. | Image: © 2019 MBARI
