how important it is to gain more knowledge to better understand the processes of those oceans that will, again, influence life on our planet. reporter: norwegian oceanographer everett flear is leading ocean scientists, industries and volunteers in a mission to map the seabed by 2030. the shape of the sea bed, the ocean currents, all influences to a great extent how climate will develop and change. therefore, if we let parts of the knowledge on which these planet models are based, our climate models are not as good as they could be. it also depends where the currents are. reporter: topography of the ocean floor dictates how currents move warm and cold water throughout the planet. ocean and sea mapping is critical for precisely predicting and preparing for the climate crisis, melting glaciers, and storm surge. that will allow lots of
