Germany-based GAF has developed and successfully demonstrated a new approach for deriving bathymetry from space. With this method, GAF can generate bathymetric maps covering large areas by simultaneously using differential...

Aquatic earth observation company EOMAP, Germany, has launched an off-the-shelf bathymetry product line. This service makes high-resolution, satellite-derived bathymetry available through online portals and its business partners. Indeed, Shell Petroleum...

Leica Geosystems is strengthening its market position in airborne surveying through Hexagon’s acquisition of Airborne Hydrography AB (AHAB, Sweden), a provider of airborne laser survey systems for hydrographic and topographic...

Fugro GeoSurveys, Canada, has been awarded a ‘Supply Arrangement’ by the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) to provide Airborne Lidar Bathymetry (ALB) survey services. CHS will predominantly use this contract to...

Survey vessel Borda has left Brest, France, on 31 July 2013 for a hydrographic survey mission to French Guiana. The mission focuses on general bathymetric, tidal and current surveys for...

Coastal areas are highly dynamic environments that are subject to diverse pressures, both anthropogenic (e.g. urban development, fishing, habitat modification) and natural (e.g. storms, erosion, floods). These pressures result in...

Although 71% of Earth is covered by oceans, only some 11% has been mapped in detail. In relation to SOLAS and safe marine transport, marine surveys are making giant steps...

Proteus FZC, EOMAP and DigitalGlobe have formed a partnership to bring satellite-derived bathymetry and seabed classification to the hydrographic community. A pilot conducted by UKHO in the Mediterranean confirms that...
