The Seabed 2030 initiative, anticipated to be a game-changer in ocean sciences and marine navigation, will map the ocean floor by 2030. Shallow-water bathymetry is a critical part of the Seabed 2030 ambition, but remains a gap that shipborne echosensors fail to address. Shallow water at the coasts is the interface between land and water, and its mapping is of the utmost importance for understanding ocean-land interactions and their interplay. A spin-off from the science objectives of NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s ICESat-2 is the potential to derive bathymetry for shallow waters with high precision; thus, ICESat-2-based seafloor data has the potential to connect the land and ocean maps. https://lnkd.in/eA5cvxxh

Lake Michigan water levels fluctuate by as much as two metres over decadal time spans, altering how waves and currents interact with coastal sediments and lakefront infrastructure in ways not yet fully understood. Understanding sediment transport dynamics is foundational to effective coastal resilience planning. This article, authored by Robin Mattheus, Mitchell Barklage, and Liane Rosario of the Illinois State Geological Survey, offers insights from an offshore sand assessment and beach topobathymetric monitoring study along the greater Chicago coast. This research was conducted in collaboration with the Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant and the Illinois Coastal Management Program. https://lnkd.in/erVQYg9X

We are proud to release our recent interview with Dr Pooja Mahapatra, principal advisor for climate and nature at Fugro, who discusses the transformative role of geodata in advancing climate resilience and environmental sustainability. Dr Mahapatra highlights Fugro’s progress in ocean mapping, autonomous technologies, and AI-driven solutions that are shaping the future of the geospatial industry. Drawing on her expertise in satellite earth observation, she shares her vision for leveraging technology to address global challenges and Fugro’s commitment to a sustainable, data-driven future. https://lnkd.in/eW5DtDG6

Like other hydrographic offices, Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) collects survey data for safety of navigation, producing and maintaining nautical charts and products in accordance with SOLAS Chapter V, Regulation 9. Finding new and unusual features such as shipwrecks is the icing on the cake. LINZ’s recent survey of Tūranganui-a-Kiwa/Poverty Bay uncovered two locally known but previously uncharted wrecks, mapping them both in 3D and igniting interest in their stories – their origins, their voyages and their eventual demise. Discover more in this article written by Adam Greenland, Brad Cooper, Jennifer Coppola, and Annette Wilkinson. https://lnkd.in/ez2rcvTr
