BLAST Conference 2011 The upcoming Bringing Land And Sea Together (BLAST) Conference 2011, is to take place on 22 September 2011 in Ostend, Belgium, highlighting the progress and results of the BLAST project so far. Members of the Hydrographic Society Benelux can attend this conference as a workshop.
The main focus of the conference will be on recent developments in BLAST-related fields. The plenary session will highlight the newly developed integrated master plan for the Belgian coast, EU-related developments on S-100 and Inspire, Integrated Coastal Zone Management and Marine Spatial Planning and e-navigation.
In addition to the regular programme, connections will be made to other interesting projects dealing with BLAST-related themes, such as the closely related SUSCOD project working towards Sustainable Coastal Development and Integrated Coastal Zone Management.

Hydrographic Survey of Riverbed Erosion |
Members of the US Geological Survey were filmed while out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyses the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed.
