Numero Uno

A topic I want to learn more about in regards to applicational GIS is mapping of the ocean floor. So much data is concerned with surficial features and satellite images. Though terrestrial maps are very important and wicked cool, you can't see the ocean floor with a satellite. I want to look into bathymetry, side-scan sonar and other methods currently used to map the sea floor. How do they work, where do they send information and how is a bouncing beam of energy converted to a feature class on ArcMap? Perhaps GIS 121 will bring me closer to understanding that.

For now, though, I'll be relaxing with my beautiful wife and drinking a glass of milk (Pete she made me mention her in this post, and she says hi).
