U.S. Extended Continental Shelf Cruise To Map Gaps In Kela And Karin Ridges, Johnston Atoll, Equatorial Pacific Ocean, James V. Gardner, Andy Armstrong Sep 2014

U.S. Extended Continental Shelf Cruise To Map Gaps In Kela And Karin Ridges, Johnston Atoll, Equatorial Pacific Ocean, James V. Gardner, Andy Armstrong

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

The objectives for cruise KM14-17 are to map the bathymetry of two gaps in two submarine ridges in the vicinity of Johnston Atoll. One ridge gap occurs along the informally named Keli Ridge (Hein et al., 2005) south of Johnston Atoll and the other ridge gap occurs north of Johnston Atoll that separates Sculpin Ridge (also informally called Karin Ridge) and Horizon Ridge, all in the central equatorial Pacific (Fig. 1). The cruise took advantage of a scheduled dead-head transit from Papeete, Tahiti to Honolulu, Hawai’i that could be extended for 5 days to include the planned mapping. The mapping …

Mapping In The Arctic Ocean In Support Of A Potential Extended Continental Shelf, Larry A. Mayer, Andy Armstrong, James V. Gardner May 2009

Mapping In The Arctic Ocean In Support Of A Potential Extended Continental Shelf, Larry A. Mayer, Andy Armstrong, James V. Gardner

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

Under Article 76 of The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS; U.N. 1997), coastal states may, under certain circumstances, gain sovereign rights over the resources of the seafloor and subsurface of “submerged extensions of their continental margin” beyond the recognized 200 nautical mile (nmi) limit of their Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The establishment of an “extended continental shelf” (ECS) under Article 76 involves the demonstration that the area of the ECS is a “natural prolongation” of a coastal state’s territorial landmass and then the application of a series of formulae and limit lines that are based …

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

Since CHC2006, the University of New Hampshire’s Center for Coastal & Ocean Mapping/Joint Hydrographic Center has mapped with multibeam, the bathymetry of an additional ~220,000 km2 of seafloor in areas as diverse as the Arctic, the Northern Marianas of the western Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico. The mapping supports any potential U.S. submission for of extended continental shelves under Article 76 of the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea. Consequently, the mapping has concentrated on capturing the complete extent of the 2500-m isobath and the zone where the Article 76-defined foot of the slope exists. In …

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

Since 2003, the Center for Coastal & Ocean Mapping/Joint Hydrographic Center at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) has been conducting multibeam mapping of many U.S. continental margins in areas where there is a potential for an extended continental shelf as defined under Article 76 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. UNH was directed by Congress, through funding by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, to map the bathymetry in areas in the Arctic Ocean, Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska, Northwest Atlantic, northern Gulf of Mexico, the Northern Mariana Islands, Kingman Reef and Palmyra Atoll …

Analysis Of Data Relevant To Establishing Outer Limits Of A Continental Shelf Under Law Of The Sea Article 76, Martin Jakobsson, Larry A. Mayer, Andy Armstrong Apr 2003

Analysis Of Data Relevant To Establishing Outer Limits Of A Continental Shelf Under Law Of The Sea Article 76, Martin Jakobsson, Larry A. Mayer, Andy Armstrong

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

Coastal states may extend the limits of their juridically defined continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles from their baselines under the provisions set forth in Article 76 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). In a preparatory desktop study, the University of New Hampshire’s Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping/Joint Hydrographic Center analysed existing U.S. bathymetric and geophysical data holdings, identified data adequacy, and survey requirements to prepare a U.S. claim beyond the Exclusive Economical Zone (EEZ). In this paper we describe the methodology for our desktop study with particular emphasis on how we assembled …
