What will I learn?
This Bathymetry Course provides a hands-on workflow for planning, collecting, processing, and delivering top-quality depth data for harbours and coastal areas. You will master survey planning, choosing sensors, correcting for motion and tides, managing sound speed, creating grids, quality checks, and uncertainty evaluation, then produce clear charts, digital elevation models, reports, and metadata that meet current hydrographic standards to aid safe navigation and coastal developments.
