Skills and tech: hydrography’s balancing act

Jan 21, 2025 | hydro-international.com | Wim van Wegen

Article Survey highlights an industry at a crossroads • Each year, Hydro International picks up the sounding line to gauge the landscape of the hydrographic sector. By posing questions to the hydrographic community, we measure the currents and underlying trends shaping this ever-evolving field.
Unlocking the power of robotics and automation

Nov 12, 2024 | hydro-international.com | Wim van Wegen

Article Autonomous technologies, ocean mapping and AI for a sustainable future • Dr Pooja Mahapatra, principal advisor for climate & nature at Fugro, explores the transformative impact of geodata on climate resilience and environmental sustainability. In this interview, she highlights Fugro’s advancements in ocean mapping, autonomous technologies and AI-driven solutions that are shaping the future of the geospatial industry.
How rising ocean temperatures are influencing our weather

May 6, 2024 | hydro-international.com | Joël Hirschi

Article Deciphering global heat patterns • Globally, surface air and ocean temperatures have warmed by about 1°C since 1900. More than 90% of the additional heat contained in the climate system (atmosphere, ocean, land) due to global warming is stored in the ocean, so what do these increased ocean temperatures mean for our weather? The ocean stores significantly more heat than the atmosphere: the top few metres of the ocean contain more thermal energy than the entire atmosphere.
Fast-tracking the evolution of unmanned maritime systems

Mar 19, 2024 | hydro-international.com | George Galdorisi

Article Shaping naval strategies worldwide • In an era of great power competition, unmanned maritime systems (UMSs) have begun to take centre stage and are now on an accelerated development path for reasons that are clear.
The renewal of a research vessel fleet

Jan 19, 2024 | hydro-international.com | Wim van Wegen

Article Redefining oceanic exploration in Dutch marine science • When contemplating the replacement of a research and survey fleet, a collective effort is required to meticulously curate an optimal new fleet, considering factors such as ship type, size, capabilities and flexibility for equipment interchangeability. The flagship, often the largest seagoing research vessel, receives special attention.
Trends and perspectives in the hydrographic sector

Jan 19, 2024 | hydro-international.com | Wim van Wegen

Article Industry survey 2024 • How do you perceive prospects in the hydrographic surveying industry in 2024, compared to the past couple of years? When contemplating the hydrographic sector holistically, which areas of investment do you foresee experiencing the most noteworthy developments in the coming years? Will there continue to be a surveyor on board at any stage of the survey process? How do you plan to select and retain new surveyors for the next decade?
Mapping northern Greenland waters

Nov 3, 2023 | hydro-international.com | Martin Jakobsson |Larry Mayer

Article A blank spot on nautical charts in ice-infested waters • An understanding of the interplay between glaciers and the ocean is needed to improve sea-level rise projections. Seafloor mapping is critical in this pursuit, particularly where the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica meet the ocean. Northern Greenland’s marine realm remains one of Earth’s least explored areas, with completely uncharted fjords.
Navigating the rising tide

Oct 17, 2023 | hydro-international.com | Wim van Wegen

Article • Experts are extremely concerned about the temperature of the Pacific Ocean. This year, we found that the sea surface water has not been this warm since satellite measurements began. This can have major consequences: for marine life, for example, but also for our climate, because a warmer ocean absorbs less CO2. The ocean absorbs almost a quarter of all the CO2 we emit, something not everyone is aware of.
