bathymetry mapping

here is a shot of the software we are using to manage the sonar
mapping. basically, color designates depth. blue is deeper than red.
the blue is the Juan de Fuca channel offshore Washington. this channel
feeds turbidity currents that have been cored in the past to document
the earthquake history of earthquakes on the Cascadia subduction zone.
