This course focuses ON hydrography, navigation, and hydrographic survey. Students develop an appreciation of the concepts of coordinates, measurement, underwater acoustics, positioning, sounding, and different sources of hydrographic data and information. Students examine different surveying technologies, developments, and various environmental applications. The course is designed to bridge geography, coastal and marine studies, oceanography, digital mapping, hydrographic surveying, marine spatial planning, remote sensing, and Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Practical experience with hydrographic charts and tide tables for navigation provide an opportunity to introduce the student to a skilled area that may form the basis for a future career.
