Bathymetric LiDAR Mapping
Bathymetric LiDAR Mapping is an advanced remote sensing technology used to measure and map underwater terrain in shallow coastal, riverine, and lake environments. It works by emitting laser pulses from an airborne platform, typically an aircraft or drone, using both infrared and green wavelengths. While the infrared laser measures the water surface, the green laser penetrates the water column and reflects off the seabed, allowing accurate determination of water depth and underwater topography.
This technology provides high-resolution bathymetric data that supports coastal zone management, hydrographic surveying, environmental monitoring, flood risk assessment, and navigation planning. Bathymetric LiDAR Mapping offers a faster and more efficient alternative to traditional sonar-based surveys, especially in areas that are difficult to access. By generating detailed three-dimensional models of submerged landscapes, it enhances decision-making for marine research, infrastructure development, and natural resource management.
