• My inspiration for this project was the 1977 Heezen/Tharp/Berann map that portrayed the world ocean floor with unprecedented detail and drama, and helped promote the theory of plate tectonics. This is a modern interpretation of their classic map. It is based on the latest bathymetric data—merged GEBCO and BathDNN25, a deep neural network product derived from SWOT. These hybrid data were then rendered with Eduard and Natural Scene Designer software as plan oblique relief. Like the Heezen/Tharp/Berann map, topographic features appear three-dimensional, complete with cast shadows. The GEBCO Undersea Feature Names Gazetteer was the main source for names. Depths are in meters. Gloss Laminated Paper (Durable, High-Impact Finish) This option begins with our standard matte paper and is finished with a professional gloss laminate. The lamination enhances color vibrancy and contrast while adding durability and moisture resistance. The glossy surface is easy to wipe clean and helps protect the map from handling, making it ideal for long-term use. Best for: Classrooms, public spaces, field use, planning environments, and high-traffic areas.
