SDB for a community-led hydrography project in Canada
The Canadian Hydrographic Conference (CHC) took place from 27 – 30 May 2024 in St. John’s, Newfoundland. On CHC Day 3 am – during the “Satellite-Derived Bathymetry Session 2” – Edward Albada of EOMAP showcased a fascinating bathymetry project in Quebec.
In 2023, EOMAP cooperated in community-led bathymetric surveys and helped generate Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) for Canadian coastal waters. The community team used eoapp SDB-Online for improving and de-risking their survey planning along the shallow waters of their coast. The project is part of Canada’s Oceans Protection Plan, and empowers coastal communities to gather and utilize bathymetric data. Most of the communities involved lacked detailed bathymetric data on the waters at their doorstep. Now, the community of Inukjuak has a helpful community map at hand, bringing more safety to their daily navigation.
SDB-Online, a new web app by EOMAP enables non-expert users to create bathymetric charts within mouse clicks.
