GEBCO: discoverer and year of discovery (en): "Discoverer: Japanese survey vessel ""Takuyo"". Year of discovery: 2000. History: Named after Gustaf Arrhenius (1922-2019), a Swedish-American oceanographer at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (USA) from 1953-2005. He was considered one of Scripps' most distinguished scientists. His research into deep-sea sedimentation during the 1950s defined the major sedimentary processes and provinces of the ocean and opened the door for the studies of ocean and climate history that followed."
