Abstract:
Knowledge of water depth is a crucial for planning military amphibious operations. Bathymetry from remote sensing with multispectral or hyperspectral imagery provides an opportunity to acquire water depth data faster than traditional hydrographic survey methods without the need to deploy a hydrographic survey vessel. It also provides a means of collecting bathymetric data covertly. This research explores two techniques for deriving bathymetry and assesses them for use by those involved in providing support to military operations. To support this aim a fieldwork campaign was undertaken in May,

Abstract:
This study proposes and demonstrates a through-water photogrammetry approach for Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB), which may be used to map nearshore bathymetry in the Canadian Arctic. A four step process is used: First, a standard photogrammetric extraction is performed on 2 m resolution WorldView stereo imagery, then apparent depths are calculated by referencing submerged points to the extracted elevation of the water level seen in the image. Due to the effects of refraction, these apparent depths are underestimates, and a refraction correction factor is applied to convert to actual depths

Abstract:
The definition of the shape of the geoid is a fundamental objective of geodesy, since it allows for the conversion between orthometric and ellipsoidal height systems. The geoid can be computed from gravity values measured over the surface of the earth, and considerable effort continues to achieve a global coverage of gravity values. One technique that has been very successful in recent years in providing gravity coverage in areas which previously have been too difficult to access is airborne gravimetry. This technique has proved very useful in covering near offshore regions, for example. The c

Surface elevation is likely the most fundamental property of our planet. In contrast to land topography, bathymetry, its underwater equivalent, remains uncertain in many parts of the World ocean.

Examples, where knowing the exact water depth or the morphology of the seafloor is vital include marine geology, physical oceanography, the propagation of tsunamis and documenting marine habitats.

South Africa has an extensive coastline offshore of which lies the prominent South African continental shelf, a relatively flat extension of the onshore coastal plain. The continental shelf is host to major mineral and petroleum deposits, home to South Africa’s major sea fisheries and full of navigation hazards. Therefore, knowledge of the seafloor features, or bathymetry, of the continental shelf is essential to understanding both its long-term geological evolution and present-day use for resources and navigation.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the simulation of astronomic tides of the Pascagoula River. The work is comprised of five steps: 1) Production of a digital elevation model describing the entire Pascagoula River system; 2) Development of an inlet-based, unstructured mesh for inbank flow to better understand the basis of the hydrodynamics within the Pascagoula riverine system. In order to assist in the mesh development, a toolbox was constructed to implement one-dimensional river cross sections into the two-dimensional model; 3) Implementation of a sensitivity analysis of the Pascagoula River two inlet s

Abstract:
The ocean and acoustic modeling community has specifically asked for roughness from bathymetry. An effort has been undertaken to provide what can be thought of as the high frequency content of bathymetry. By contrast, the low frequency content of bathymetry is the set of contours. The two-dimensional amplitude spectrum calculated with the nonequispaced fast Fourier transform (Kunis, 2006) is exploited as the statistic to provide several parameters of roughness following the method of Fox (1996). When an area is uniformly rough, it is termed isotropically rough. When an area exhibits lineation
