Hydro International #2 - 2026
From satellite-powered bathymetry to AI-driven seabed monitoring, this fresh edition of Hydro International explores the technologies and partnerships reshaping ocean data. Discover how Fugro and EOMAP are merging hydrography with satellite tech, why backscatter could well be described as ‘a missed strategic opportunity’, and how Viking’s expedition vessels are redefining oceanographic research. Besides that, we look at citizen science aboard private yachts, edge computing for anomaly detection, water-column acoustics for gas seepage mapping, hands-on hydrographic training in Malaysia, and the long-term structural health of offshore wind infrastructure. As many of the articles in this issue make clear, ongoing advances in observation and analysis are taking us all ever closer to the ultimate goal of fully understanding the world’s oceans.
