While it's photography rather than cartography this image from the International Space Station does illustrate geographic information: light sources NW Europe, including North Sea oil & gas platforms.
I'm also drawn to it as I can recognise the dot that is the town I call home.

#OceanInfinity Armada 86 05 has departed Singapore bound for the Philippines San Bernardino Strait.
AIS is showing ETA Nov 17th, however, present speed & distance to go suggests only 5 days to the Strait. Of course, arrival in the Strait doesn't necessarily imply an immediate need to dock.

Ocean Infinity's Armada 86 05 is manoeuvring into a Singapore harbour basin where Mooreast & ST Engineering are located.
Mooreast has previously provided mobilisation services for Armada vessels.
But first, a wreck survey is scheduled with #AllenX.

A short clip from late August of Armada 86 05 & 06 during final stages of completion at the Vard facility in Vung Tau, VN.
Armada 86 05 is, at present, enroute to Singapore and is then expected to join the AllenX team for the San Bernadino Strait (PH) wrecks survey, weather permitting.

We're maintaining a watch on the assets that will likely be deployed.
In the meantime, OI is contributing to a survey with Carl Allen's AllenX/Allen Exploration organisation. AllenX has teamed up with Philippines Nat'l Museum to look for wrecks in the San Bernadino Strait south of Luzon Island.

#Throwback to just last week, when the nation's deepest-diving crewed submersible ALVIN returned to Woods Hole! 🥳
The sub crossed North America by truck last week while its support ship, R/V Atlantis, undergoes maintenance on the West Coast. They're looking forward to reuniting in June!

Every scientist should have a page to showcase their work, vision, and mission. Initially, I thought that only celebrities could have personal websites. However, with the overwhelming noise on social media, it has become essential for every professional to have their own space.

Humans still haven't seen 99.999% of the deep seafloor
Human eyes have only seen a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of the areas of the world that are covered by deep water. Scientists want to change how they explore these regions.

Not much attention is paid to the economics of deep-sea mining. It’s taken for granted that, whatever the ecological harms may be, the business case is sound.
Turns out that's not true. 🧪

A brief update on progress by Armada 78 06 for #MH370 search this morning, 13th March.
AUVs continue to acquire seafloor imagery using side scan sonar over this particularly difficult region.
Note the, apparently, blurred areas in the image - these are low res from SRTM dataset, not local MBES.
