The evolution of Dutch hydrography
Given the Netherlands’ geographical location, it is unsurprising to find it has a long tradition of hydrography. The lowland, often below sea level, forms a delta where major rivers from...

In the quest to unravel the mysteries beneath our planet’s water bodies, topobathymetric technologies emerge as a beacon of innovation. Among them, Lidar (light detection and ranging) and sonar sensors...
The presence of suspended sediments in water bodies presents significant challenges for the dredging industry. Existing methods to determine nautical depths are intrusive single point methods relying on in situ density or shear strength measurements1,3 or low-frequency single-beam echosounder recordings1,2. The use of single-beam echosounders is however systemically problematic as they are not practical in satisfying the CATZOC A1 coverages required for contemporary electronic navigational charting.
