Is there a problem importing bathymetry data in QGIS?
I’m experiencing problems with the import of bathymetry data in QGIS, which I downloaded freely from GEBCO or NOAA. The problem is that if I import the grid (either with .nc or .asc extension, or if I extract it as geotiff), I simply get a grey map with very faint or no differentiation in depth.
Can You import a spreadsheet into a QGIS project?
Many times the GIS data comes in a table or an Excel spreadsheet. Also, if you have a list lat/long coordinates, you can easily import this data in your GIS project. We will be importing a text file of earthquake data to QGIS.
How to loading bag file format in QGIS?
I need to load a BAG file (Bathymetry attributed grid) in QGIS (3.4) according to the supported file page https://www.gdal.org/formats_list.html it is supported, but is not compiled by default and requires “libhdf5” I have no idea what this means, is there a plugin I need to install or do I need to compile something my self?
How to create a layer from a CSV file in QGIS?

What kind of data can I import into QGIS?
Although there are a myriad of different types of data sources you can import into QGIS, this guide will focus on the more commonly used data types including shapefiles, csv files, and raster files.
Why do I get a grey map with bathymetry data?
The problem is that if I import the grid (either with .nc or .asc extension, or if I extract it as geotiff), I simply get a grey map with very faint or no differentiation in depth. Does anybody know what the problem is? Are there are other free sources to get bathymetry data from?
How to check the file format in QGIS?
File format – depending on the version of QGIS you are using, you may need to verify the file format. Geometry definition – If you have x, y coordinates you will choose the “Point coordinates” option. Verify the X Field is pointing to your Longitude field and the Y Field is pointing to your Latitude Field.
What kind of raster data is used in QGIS?
QGIS uses the GDAL library to read and write raster data formats, including ArcInfo Binary Grid, ArcInfo ASCII Grid, GeoTIFF, ERDAS IMAGINE, and many more. GRASS raster support is supplied by a native QGIS data provider plugin. The raster data can also be loaded in read mode from zip and gzip archives into QGIS.
Where can I find the GEBCO gridded bathymetry data?
The data filea are included in a zip file along with the data set documentation. Please note that the size of the uncompressed files. Use our application to select and download data in netCDF, Esri ASCII raster and data GeoTiff formats.
How are global elevation models generated in GEBCO?
GEBCO’s global elevation models are generated by the assimilation of heterogeneous data types assuming all of them to be referred to mean sea level. However, in some shallow water areas, the grids include data from sources having a vertical datum other than mean sea level. We are working to understand how best to fully assimilate these data.
