Hydrographic Surveying Syllabus Notes - Hydrographic Surveying (GLS 614)

     Hydrography focuses on the measurement of physical characteristics of waters and conditions of navigable waters and adjoining coastal areas, including oceans, rivers, and lakes. It involves geodesy, physical oceanography, marine geology, geophysics, photogrammetry (in coastal areas), remote sensing, and marine cartography. Basic parameters observed during a hydrographic survey are time, geographic position, depth of water, and bottom type. However, observation, analysis, and prediction of tides and currents area are also normally included in order to reduce depth measurements to a common vertical datum. A principal objective of hydrography is to provide for safe navigation and protection of the marine environment through the production of up-to-date nautical charts and related publications.
