What is Satellite Derived Bathymetry
Satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB) harnesses satellite remote sensing to efficiently estimate water depth, overcoming the limitations of traditional ship-mounted echo sounders in coverage, cost, and time.
IMPORTANCE OF SDB
Marine Navigation: Satellite-derived bathymetry ensures safe navigation by providing accurate depth information, especially in remote or poorly surveyed areas.
Resource Exploration: It enables precise mapping of seabed features crucial for mineral exploration, fisheries management, and sustainable offshore development planning.
Environmental Monitoring: Facilitates continuous assessment of coastal erosion, sea level rise impacts, and marine habitat changes, supporting conservation and adaptation strategies.
Disaster Response: Provides rapid assessment of shallow water areas post-disaster for effective emergency response and environmental damage evaluation.
Climate Change and Sea Level Monitoring: Supports monitoring of sea level rise and coastal dynamics to aid in climate change adaptation and mitigation planning
Marine Protected Areas: Assists in MPA establishment and management by delineating boundaries and assessing habitat suitability for biodiversity conservation.
Mangrove Forest Conservation: Helps in mapping and monitoring mangrove ecosystems critical for carbon storage, coastal protection, and biodiversity conservation efforts.
Methodology of SDBD
Our tailored Satellite-derived Bathymetry (SDB) methodology integrates cutting-edge optics, advanced algorithms, and the latest machine learning techniques. This ensures high-resolution mapping precision tailored to dynamic coastal environments. Unlike alternatives such as Satellite Altimetry and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), which face limitations in shallow waters, our approach with multispectral optical data offers superior accuracy and cost-effectiveness for your specific site requirements.
Determine Your SDBD Needs.
Dear customer, we have developed a comprehensive matrix for selecting the Satellite-derived Bathymetry (SDB) method based on a thorough review of existing knowledge in the field. This matrix serves as a valuable tool, providing guidance on selecting the appropriate satellite and in-situ data resolution, methods, and algorithms tailored to achieve the required level of accuracy specific to your site. It aims to streamline decision-making and enhance the effectiveness of SDB in your project.
