Course Details
• Fundamentals of Hydrography: An introduction to hydrography, including its history, importance, and applications in geomatics engineering. This unit will cover the basics of hydrographic surveys and data acquisition methods.
• Hydrographic Survey Techniques: This unit will focus on various hydrographic survey techniques, including single-beam and multibeam echo sounding, side-scan sonar, and lidar. Students will learn the principles of these techniques, their advantages and disadvantages, and their appropriate applications.
• Data Processing and Analysis: Students will learn how to process and analyze hydrographic data using industry-standard software. This unit will cover data cleaning, filtering, and interpolation techniques, as well as data visualization and analysis methods.
• Geodesy and Positioning: This unit will cover the principles of geodesy and positioning in hydrographic surveying. Students will learn about coordinate systems, datums, and transformations, as well as the use of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) for precise positioning.
• Bathymetric Mapping: This unit will focus on the creation of bathymetric maps from hydrographic survey data. Students will learn about the different types of maps, cartographic principles, and the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for data visualization and analysis.
• Regulations and Standards: Students will learn about the regulations and standards that govern hydrographic surveying, including the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) standards for hydrographic surveys and nautical charts.
• Environmental Monitoring and Habitat Mapping: This unit will cover the use of hydrographic surveying techniques for environmental monitoring and habitat mapping. Students will learn about the principles of habitat mapping and the use of hydroacoustic and optical sensors for monitoring water quality and aquatic habitats.
• Practical Hydrographic Surveying: This unit will provide students with hands-on experience in conducting hydro
