Undersea road maps reveal vast undersea landslides and lava flows off Hawaii
A seven year mapping project by the USGS and British scientists completed the first comprehensive survey of the US 200 mile exclusive economic zone. The study, using the GLORIA sonar, found huge undersea landslides near Oahu and a long sea floor lava flow north of Oahu, plus deep channels and trenches off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. The maps aim to guide future ocean use, navigation, and offshore resource development.
