Caption from 2021 WHOI Wall Calendar:
The Spilhaus Projection presents the world’s seas and oceans as a single body of water. It was originally created by Athelstan Spilhaus, a geophysicist and oceanographer who joined WHOI in 1936 and developed the bathythermograph to measure ocean depths and temperatures. This global ocean is the focus of WHOI scientists.

An ocean-focused world
The Spilhaus Projection, shown below, presents the world seas and oceans as a single body of water. It was originally created by Athelstan Spilhaus, a geophysicist and oceanographer, who joined WHOI in 1936 and developed the bathythermograph to measure ocean depths and temperatures. This global ocean is the focus of WHOI scientists.
As the global climate changes, so too does the global ocean, which can result in abrupt and unexpected responses like shifting temperatures and weather patterns. WHOI scientists and engineers from a broad range of disciplines are studying the complex link between ocean and climate in virtually every corner of the globe to gain a better understanding of current conditions and how they may change in the future.
