This is interesting as EMU are the other survey contractor working for the Maritime & Coastguard Agency. Surprising that nothing was said at OI last week.

This is Johnnie Beaudoin’s SVP weather map – could be very useful when planning surveys in areas you have little or no idea about.

This is the link to the RESON USer Conference program on the Monday before Oceanology next week. Interesting presentations, especially Dan Parsons’ presentation as that is all about sediment movement – nothing to do with depths, which makes it quite refreshing.

It’s Oceanology 2012 next week at the Excel in London’s docklands. I think we definitely have the coolest stand. If anyone out there is going then stop by the stand to say hi, see our fantastic work and grab sone refreshment at the same time. Skål!

This is a fantastic example of the ESRI web portal. They created this from the Shallow Survey Dataset in Wellington, NZ. As I’m going to be involved in the dataset collection for Shallow Survey 2015 in the UK I think I’ll get ESRI to rename the home page to just be Shallow Survey and we can load all the data up onto here from the past and future conferences. It’s certainly going to make it easy to see what data has been collected and where, which will make abstract submission easier.

This sonar is meant to be USD 50,000 – could be interesting if it works well.

Here is my paper from Shallow Survey 2012. I took the Shallow Survey dataset from RESON, R2Sonic and Kongsberg and put them through the QPS Fledermaus FMGT app to see if you could a) build a nice mosaic and b) have nice acoustic response curves from which to determine sediment type. As you will see, some are better than others.

My mate Mike Brissette from MosaicHydro is running a training course in Portsmouth NH in October. Mike is a fantastic tutor and I think they are using the Substructure vessel, which is probably the best inshore vessel on the Eastern Seaboard and one of the best in the world. More info below. Excellent price too for what you get.
