Description

Coastal Bathymetry with Advanced Technologies (CoastBAT). This proposal will fund Coastal Bathymetry with Advanced Technologies (CoastBAT), a facility that will provide high resolution bathymetry in nearshore and inland waters, where information is currently limited due to high cost and/or difficult access by traditional surveying operations. The access to such information (and capability to monitor change) will unlock research opportunities in areas related to coastal sciences, while benefiting industry and training students in the use of the most up-to-date bathymetric surveying methods. This equipment facility represents a low-cost solution not currently available in other academic institutions in Australia and will facilitate collaborations across institutions nationally and internationally.. Scheme: Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities. Field: 3709 - Physical Geography and Environmental Geoscience. Lead: A/Prof Graziela Miot da Silva
