Difficulties in Implementing Provisions Of UNCLOS

  11/02/2008
The Fifth Conference of the IAG/IHO Advisory Board on the Law of the Sea (ABLOS) is scheduled from 16 to 17 October 2008 in Monaco. The purpose of this Conference is to draw together specialists from a variety of disciplines for a discussion of the challenges that arise when applying science and technology with due consideration of the juridical requirements of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
 

Proposed sessions will address the following topics:

  • The delineation of the outer continental shelf
  • Technical and legal issues concerning territorial sea baselines in a changing environment
  • The protection of the marine environment - principles and practices
  • The definitions of sea level and vertical datum
  • The establishment and application of marine cadastres

 

Conference organisers invite abstracts of presentations concerning the above and related topics. Abstract submissions should be made to Chris Carleton by 30 April 2008.

Hydrographic Survey for Riverbed Erosion

 

U.S. Geological Survey were 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 analyzes 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. 

Gage height at the Williston gage was approximately 27.65 feet when this video was taken. Additional information about the USGS streamgage at Williston is available at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nd/nwis?program=nwisman&site_no=06330000
