Discover the hidden continent of Zealandia through this 34-minute tutorial that demonstrates advanced geospatial data processing techniques using ProRaster Scientific software. Learn to overcome the "Edge of the Earth" problem in global datasets through offsetting and merging techniques, then master the combination of GEBCO 2025 terrain and bathymetry data with GLO-30 terrain datasets using virtual raster processing. Explore how to identify and handle bathymetry noise and processing artifacts while isolating specific geographic features like the submerged Zealandia continent. Develop skills in color stretching for enhanced visualization, create compelling 3D representations of underwater topography, and analyze erosion channels in bathymetric data. The tutorial provides comprehensive coverage of virtual raster processing workflows for exploring global terrain and bathymetry datasets, making it valuable for geospatial professionals, researchers, and anyone interested in underwater geological formations and advanced GIS visualization techniques.
