Ocean Observations Biodiversity Video. Welcome to OBIS! | OBIS. The Census on Google Earth — Census of Marine Life Maps and Visualization. Every week the latest Census discoveries are added to Google Earth, the 3-D geographic explorer from Google. Census waterdrop icons mark the location where researchers have been exploring. Google Earth lets you share the excitement of Census of Marine Life explorations as scientists uncover the mysteries of what lives below the surface of the global ocean.
A world of marine discoveries including 50 different kinds of Arctic jellies, a colossal sea star, and Antarctica’s biggest-ever amphipod and other interesting, rare, and new marine species can be found. Or one can follow along on scientific explorations to the coldest, saltiest water on the planet or to a new ocean environment created by an ice shelf break the size of Jamaica or to the hottest hydrothermal vent ever discovered—hot enough to melt lead!
These journeys are but a few of the hundreds of possibilities for learning more about marine life available on the Census of Marine Life layer in Ocean in Google Earth.
