Why do we like it?

Terradepth’s unique value proposition in the ocean data and mapping market is its end-to-end, cloud-native subsea data ecosystem that combines autonomous data collection with rapid, collaborative data management and visualization. This integrated approach delivers faster, more actionable, and more accessible ocean intelligence than traditional methods or competitors.

What is Terradepth and why does it matter?

Terradepth is an ocean data-as-a-service company based in Austin, Texas, specializing in scalable, high-resolution collection, management, and dissemination of subsea data through advanced technology and cloud-based platforms. Their core mission is to enable a deeper, more comprehensive understanding of the underwater environment, supporting better and faster decision-making for industries such as offshore energy, infrastructure, maritime services, and government agencies.

What does Terradepth?

Autonomous Data Collection: Terradepth deploys fleets of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to gather high-resolution hydrographic and geophysical data from the seafloor. These AUVs operate across a range of ocean depths and can accomplish tasks that would traditionally require multiple survey devices, reducing both time and costs while minimizing the need for personnel at sea.

Absolute Ocean Platform: Their cloud-native platform, Absolute Ocean, enables users to upload, process, visualize, and share complex maritime datasets-such as bathymetric surveys, sonar scans, and video footage-in near real-time from any web browser. This platform supports secure, collaborative workflows, rapid data quality assurance, and advanced analytics, including AI-powered automatic target recognition and change detection.

The ability to rapidly collect, process, exploit, and disseminate (PED) ocean data is mission-critical for defense operations. With the latest enhancements to Absolute Ocean, we are delivering a next-generation solution that facilitates analysis and collaboration through intuitive exploration, while also scaling data dissemination and increasing operational efficiency
— Joe Wolfel, CEO of Terradepth, March 2025
