The latest innovations in bathymetric data collection will take centre stage during the Bathymetric Sensor weeks. How are the latest sensors and techniques being used for bathymetric surveys, how are sensor developments improving the accuracy of hydrospatial data, and how can multiple methods be combined with various platforms? Examples will include multibeam and singlebeam surveys, ADCPs and sub-bottom profilers mounted on AUVs, plus of course the impressive advances around Lidar bathymetric surveys, which are increasingly conducted from the air.
The acquisition of bathymetric and sidescan data is essential for the Swiss energy company Axpo to maintain its hydropower infrastructure, especially as debris that glaciers dump into Switzerland’s ...
Alaska’s history of devastating landslides and tsunamis creates challenges in assessing communities’ risk without water depth data at the base of unstable slopes. To address this, the US Geologica...
As part of a Catalan government project to improve the management of its marine environment, ICGC cooperated with Field to use airborne Lidar bathymetry (ALB) to survey the Catalan coastal zone. The r...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) contracted NV5 Geospatial to define the shoreline in an extremely complex area of south-east Alaska as part of the NGS Coastal Mapping Progra...
Measuring suspended particulate matter in the water column is still a big challenge when it comes to covering large areas in the sea or rivers. A novel method to monitor particles in the water column...
Since the 1970s, remote sensing has increasingly been used to conduct underwater surveys. Several methodologies are employed in hydrographic surveying, from direct techniques such as probing rods to m...
The ship that sent an iceberg warning to the RMS Titanic before the ocean liner sank has been identified in the Irish Sea. Using state-of-the art multibeam sonar, researchers at Bangor University hav...
We asked five experts for their views on the trends and developments in bathymetric data, as this is and will continue to be the backbone of hydrographic surveying with echosounders, sidescan sonar an...
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...
Hexagon is working with Beneath The Waves, a conservation NGO, to help protect marine environments in the Bahamas. Using bathymetric airborne Lidar solutions, researchers are able to map, study and qu...
