Abstract:
Bathymetric studies enable the identification of seabed depths and elevations. This is achieved through maps created using satellite data and software that use depth information within a defined geographic region. Bathymetry provides valuable insights into regions that are difficult to access using existing technologies, without requiring significant investment. Bathymetric studies can contribute to the economic assessment and operationalization of mineral exploration in the region. It is important to consider the right to obtain advantages considering the belonging of geological origin associated with the American Continent. Additionally, possible environmental impacts that may occur as a consequence of mineral extraction in the region.
