What will I learn?
This course provides a hands-on approach to planning, collecting, processing, and presenting top-quality depth measurements for harbours and coastlines. You will cover survey planning, choosing sensors, adjusting for motion and tides, managing sound speed, creating grids, quality checks, and evaluating uncertainties, then produce charts, digital elevation models, reports, and metadata that align with current hydrographic requirements for safe navigation and coastal developments.
