One of our most-read articles this year (too close to call, but it’s almost certain to end up in the top three!) is a fascinating story on airborne Lidar bathymetry. Who said GIM International is just for landlubbers? The Baltic Sea's unique conditions make precise coastal measurements a challenge. Over the past decade, topographic laser scanners and GNSS RTK receivers have been key tools for monitoring Poland's coastline. This article explores the potential and precision of airborne Lidar bathymetry for mapping both seabed and land. https://lnkd.in/dGkX2a7P
