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.
