From 1 November to 5 December, the Subsurface Innovations Theme Weeks focus on innovations in measurement systems and new measurement systems, innovations in software (both recording and processing), and new applications (use of data).
Through a series of articles, we will immerse you in new approaches to hydrographic data acquisition and processing, as well as automatization and digitalization. We will also zoom in on the integration between hydrographic data acquisition and processing. Through the Subsurface Innovation Theme Weeks, the Hydro International audience will be informed on the latest trends and developments and grow their knowledge on improved methods and technologies in hydrographic surveying.
Scientists of the JPI Oceans project ‘MiningImpact’ are embarking on a six-week expedition to the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone in the Pacific. Their goal is to carry out independent scientific...
Sriwijaya Air Flight 182 was an Indonesian domestic flight from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta to Pontianak, Indonesia. On Saturday 9 January 2021, the Boeing 737 crashed into the wat...
In the night of 14 April 1912, the unthinkable happened. The mightiest ship afloat, the brand new White Star Line ship Titanic, was on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York. The shi...
While nautical charting mainly focuses on bathymetry and objects that form a hazard to shipping, offshore construction and dredging require sub-bottom information. There is nothing worse in any projec...
The Netherlands is a maritime nation, evidence of which can still be found in waters throughout the country. Even so, only a small part of these waters has been surveyed, and it is very likely that th...
Backscatter is the reflection of a signal (such as sound waves or light) back in the direction from where it originated. Backscatter is commonly used in medical ultrasounds to understand characteristi...
Autonomous underwater vehicles are becoming more and more common in the maritime industry, and technology is rapidly developing for different applications, such as inspection, maintenance and surveill...
In 2019, Swire Seabed successfully used a novel AUV/USV solution to complete a commercial pipeline inspection campaign, surveying 175km of pipe. This involved the use of a HUGIN AUV paired with the SE...
Currently, calibration of multibeam echosounders (MBES) for hydrographic surveys is based on the traditional ‘patch test’ method. This subjective method, although rigorous, has major drawbacks, su...
After 75 years, and using advanced imaging technology, ocean explorer Tim Taylor and his Lost 52 expedition team have officially discovered the final resting place of the 49 sailors of the US submari...
The single beam echosounder has come a long way. First developed in the early 20th century in response to the RMS Titanic disaster of 1912, early models used a Fessenden oscillator to generate a sign...
Munitions in the sea pose a risk to the sustainable development of the ocean economy. In particular, they are a global challenge during the construction of wind farms, pipelines and other infrastructu...
