Researchers with the University of New Hampshire and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released new sea floor mapping data that suggests the foot of the continental slope runs some 100 nautical miles further than thought off Alaska's North Slope.

The newly acquired data from a recent Chukchi Cap mapping expedition could support United States claims to sea floor natural resources beyond the normal 200 nautical mile limit. In a press release, UNH Chief Expedition Scientist Larry Mayer said, "We found evidence that the foot off the slope was much farther out than we thought. That was the big discovery."
