New Satellite-Derived Bathymetry of Cook Islands
Satellite technology has been used to chart shallow areas of the Cook Islands’ seafloor in never-before-seen detail by scientists in New Zealand working with the satellite data analytics company EOMAP GmbH.

Fugro is participating in an EU co-funded research and innovation project to develop a remote solution for global satellite-derived seafloor mapping. The three-year project, named “4S” (Satellite Seafloor Survey Suite), will develop an online cloud-based solution that will use highly automated Earth-observation algorithms and workflows to remotely map and monitor seafloor habitats, morphology and shallow-water bathymetry. Fugro will lead the

Sealite has released a case study on the Humber Gateway Wind Farm, located offshore of England in the North Sea. The wind farm is owned by The Crown Estate and features Sealite’s SL-510-SA marine lanterns, which were used in a marking upgrade connected to Sealite’s advanced asset monitoring platform, Star2M. You can download the case study here:

Understanding tidal flow is important for a range of maritime activities and environmental monitoring, such as search and rescue operations, shipping routes and coastal erosion. The Arctic Ocean tides are particularly difficult to understand, but a new tidal model produced using ESA satellite data may shed some light on what is happening in this remote area. In many areas of

A constellation of satellites will monitor sea levels on earth over the next decade using advanced microwave radiometers. The satellites, Copernicus Sentinel-6A and Sentinel-6B, are being equipped with payloads and will be launched next year via an international cooperation.
