PALO ALTO, Calif. (KGO) Scientists have long noted that we ve mapped more of the moon s surface than we have the floor of our oceans. That is about to change.

Scientists off the east coast of Australia are pinging in the New Year. They re sending out sonar beams from a research vessel as a 10-year international effort gets underway to map the entire ocean floor.

So far, less than 20 percent of the oceans have been mapped, and so we still have 80 percent to go.
