Bathymetry underpins all marine and ocean research. It is common knowledge that there is a global deficit of high-resolution bathymetry based on modern acoustic techniques. Satellite altimetry enabled modeling of the global seafloor topography and revealed new morphological features in the unmapped areas of the oceans and seas. This chapter gives an overview of the physical problem and different approaches to estimating the bathymetry from satellite altimeter-derived gravity data. Characteristics of recent versions of frequently used global bathymetry models are presented. Moreover, this chapter demonstrates the possibility of regional bathymetry modeling by the gravity-geologic method in the Adriatic Sea.
