The US space agency NASA has successfully pushed the asteroid Dimorphos out of its original orbit in the universe, according to a recent announcement. The space rock was hit 11 million kilometres from...

As Korea officially commemorates Hydrography Day, the Hydrographic Society of Korea (HySK) has acted as a link between industry, academia and research for the past ten years. The Republic of Korea has...

A new, non-invasive method to measure and monitor seagrass biomass on the seabed around England’s southwest coast has been successfully demonstrated this year as part of a collaborative project supp...

To understand coastal change and anticipate what our future coast will look like, scientists carry out regular field surveys in the form of beach profiles and digital elevation models (DEMs). Until no...

Manually examining the seafloor for objects such as wrecks requires a great deal of time and labour, both at sea and in the office. As time is a limited and costly factor, the industry is constantly s...

Aside from being able to monitor water depths, the most recent multibeam echosounder sonar (MBES) systems can also simultaneously record the reflected intensities from different seafloor surfaces. Wit...

The Danish government is building an energy island in the North Sea, 80 kilometres off the coast, with the aim of accelerating the energy transition. The ambition is that the island becomes a role mod...

The transition to autonomous marine operations is a promising process in full swing. The advantages of carrying out hydrographic or oceanographic tasks autonomously weigh heavily against the tradition...

Morro Bay, a shallow coastal estuary located near San Luis Obispo, California, supports an abundance of wildlife and is home to a vibrant outdoor community. But changes – such as sedimentation and a...

Most people working in hydrography know very well that better ocean data can be used to inform a variety of decisions, from storm preparedness to helping develop the blue economy. But could we do more...

Unmanned vehicles, both surface and airborne, are increasingly being used for hydrographic surveying. While the technology of data acquisition using these platforms is generally known, the fusion of t...

It is almost impossible these days to imagine geoinformation without GNSS, and even most geodetic services have switched to GNSS to maintain their geodetic reference network, rather than using traditi...

Two Hungarian companies designed a three-step data collection workflow to overcome the challenges in this urban surveying project in Hungary, which included the use of UAVs and remote-controlled boats...

In recent years, terrestrial and extraterrestrial ocean research have increasingly joined forces to merge expertise and technical solutions in the exploration of marine systems on Earth and in space. ...
