GEO 474 - Hydrographic Surveying

Course Objectives

The purpose of this course is to ensure students gain detailed information on engineering studies in the frame of an hydrographic measurement study in water environment.

Course Description

In this course, how to manage coastline measurements in water environment like sea, lake, dam and river, positioning and depth measurement in water environments will be examined in light of recent developments, then information will be given for the topics of hydrographic measurements (water level measurements, determination of water properties, sound velocity measurements, flow velocity measurement, etc.). Besides, cartographic operations, modern ENC and ECDIS systems will be covered.
