It would be super interesting to see this change visualized over time (especially just to see what it looked like before). Google Earth only seems to have 2013-2014 imagery:
It would be interesting if the ocean water surfaces could be made translucent, while keeping the ocean floors opaque, and lit (don’t have the water absorb and diffuse sunlight.) This would allow us to see which underwater mountain tops are close to the water surface, potentially becoming new islands soon. With rising sea levels the volcanic activity would have to be significant to counter act that for new islands to appear.
Unfortunately we have a long ways to go.
“When the Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project was launched in 2017, only 6% of the global ocean bottom had been surveyed to what might be called modern standards.*”
Not sure what is meant by ‘modern standards’, but I assume what’s meant is that the terrain resolution is closer to what we’ve been mapped on dry earth surface as of late.
In GE you can sort of see the terrain that this island is a part of. Google Maps
(this link has a tilt, and tilts usually don’t show up on non-desktop browsers)
