This is Johnnie Beaudoin’s SVP weather map – could be very useful when planning surveys in areas you have little or no idea about. 2bitBrain: Global RTOFS: SVP Weather Map: “” (Via .)
Reson User Conference – Program
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. Reson – Program: “” (Via .)
Oceanology next week
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! MMT: “” (Via .)
A really great way to share multibeam data
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 […]
The new Odom MB1
This sonar is meant to be USD 50,000 – could be interesting if it works well. Odom Hydrographic Systems – Products – Multibeam Echo Sounders – MB1: “” (Via .)
Hydro International Post about Shallow Survey

My paper at Shallow Survey 2012
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, […]
Multibeam training course in Portsmouth NH
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 […]
New bathy LiDAR system
I got this through on an email the other day from Riegl. This is meant to sort out the problem of very shallow water but seemed quite far off being a product last year at ELMF. It looks like they have been working hard. RIEGL VQ-820-G – Airborne Laser Scanner for Bathymetric Use The VQ-820-G […]
Operation Gooseberry
Here at NetSurvey we are just gearing up for Operation Gooseberry, which is a survey we will perform at the end of September of the British and Canadian D-Day Beaches (Gold, Silver and Juno). As well as a survey it is going to be a joint training exercise with the UK Hydrographic Office. We will […]
