What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to plan and conduct precise surveys in harbours and channels. You will grasp hydrodynamic principles, choose and install ADCPs and current meters, plan survey lines, and handle operations securely. Additionally, you will analyse data, compute discharge rates, assess uncertainties, and produce reports aiding navigation, dredging, and tidal evaluations.
