Esri Releases New Book on Dr. Dawn Wright's Historic Challenger Deep Dive
4.9.2024 21:58:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Esri, the global leader in location intelligence, today announced the publication of Mapping the Deep: Innovation, Exploration & the Dive of a Lifetime.
The new book by oceanographer Dr. Dawn Wright details the historic 2022 trip that made her the first Black person to visit Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, the deepest and most unexplored place on earth—over 10,000 meters beneath the Pacific Ocean's surface.
We currently know less about the ocean floor than about the surface of the moon. Just one-fourth of the seabed has been mapped in high resolution to date, and as an ocean scientist and explorer, Wright has made it her mission to change that.
With a foreword by marine geologist Kathryn Sullivan, the first American woman to walk in space, Mapping the Deep takes readers on an adventure that showcases the perseverance and innovation required for ocean exploration. With a focus on Wright's historic dive, her personal journey, and the cutting-edge technology that made the expedition possible, the book highlights the crucial importance of mapping the ocean and its profound impact on the planet's future. From the fascinating history of Challenger Deep and its explorers to the diverse marine life that resides within, Mapping the Deep is a blend of history, fascinating facts, and beautiful images.
As chief scientist of Esri, Dr. Dawn Wright aids in strengthening the scientific foundation for Esri software and services while also representing Esri to the scientific community. A specialist in marine geology, with record-setting submersible dives in Alvin (to the East Pacific Rise), Pisces V, and Limiting Factor (to Challenger Deep), she has also authored and contributed to some of the most definitive literature on marine GIS.
Mapping the Deep is available in paperback (ISBN: 9781589487888, US$26.99) and as an ebook (ISBN: 9781589487895, US$26.99). This book can be obtained from most online retailers worldwide. Interested retailers can contact Esri Press book distributor Ingram Publisher Services.

The Only AI Crypto Lead Prioritization Solution Built With Law Enforcement, for Law Enforcement: Elliptic Launches Pulse24.9.2026 16:15:00 EEST | Press release
Elliptic, the global leader in on-chain risk, today launched Pulse. Pulse puts crypto lead prioritization directly in the hands of every frontline law enforcement and government officer. Crypto now touches every part of law enforcement, from the patrol officer on the street to the detective assigned to investigate the case. Pulse gives each of them a quick, accurate financial summary and a starting point: whether that's a crypto address on a suspect's phone, in a scam ATM victim's receipt, uncovered during a vehicle or pocket search, or found at the scene of an overdose, an arrest, or a seizure. An officer can input anything that looks like a wallet address or transaction hash. Pulse identifies it, reasons over the result, and returns a summary in plain language, enough for the officer to decide on the spot whether the case needs escalation. If a case needs further investigation, one click sends the full analysis forward, not just the evidence. The criminal investigations division gets
SymphonyAI Introduces Symphony Risk Intelligence, an Agent-native Platform That Unlocks Always-on Compliance™ — the Catalyst for Transforming the Financial Crime Operating Model24.9.2026 16:04:00 EEST | Press release
SymphonyAI today introduced Symphony Risk Intelligence (SRI), an enterprise-grade, agent-native platform built to unlock Always-on Compliance™. This is a critical shift from periodic to continuous risk and compliance management, in which institutions continuously reassess risk and adapt controls as regulations, threats and business activity change, rather than waiting for the next scheduled review. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260924914614/en/ Current approaches have reached their structural limits. The FinCrime Frontier 2026–27 Report, released recently by SymphonyAI and AML Intelligence, finds just 4.7% of financial institutions continuously update their compliance monitoring and controls as risk changes, and 76.3% still review alerts manually or with only partial automation — barely changed year over year. Yet standing still isn't an option: the regulatory climate is at a major inflection point across ev
Just 4.7% of Financial Institutions Continuously Update Their Compliance Monitoring and Controls as Risk Changes, New Research Finds24.9.2026 16:04:00 EEST | Press release
SymphonyAI, a global leader in vertical AI product platforms, and AML Intelligence, the leading source of news and insight for the financial crime compliance community, today released the FinCrime Frontier 2026–27 Report, finding that most financial institutions still rely on periodic review cycles to manage financial crime risk, even as the threats and regulations they are meant to track continue to evolve dynamically. Based on the perspectives of more than 200 financial crime and compliance leaders, including senior leaders from major global financial institutions, the research finds that just 4.7% of financial institutions continuously update their compliance monitoring and controls as risk changes, while 56.8% have not adopted always-on compliance monitoring at all, are only exploring it, or remain at an early, pilot-stage level. The finding points to a structural gap: financial crime typologies, payment ecosystems and regulatory expectations are evolving continuously, while most c
