Lidar News is hosting a free expert panel webinar on June 27, 2025, focused on the latest advances in bathymetric lidar and hydrographic mapping. With growing demand for coastal resilience, habitat monitoring, and infrastructure planning, the need for fast, accurate seafloor data is pushing innovation across the hydrography field.
Join top experts as they share insights from decades of work in bathymetry, lidar, satellite remote sensing, and geospatial integration.
🔍 Topics include:
- When to use lidar, multibeam echosounder (MBES), or satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB)
- Bathymetric accuracy standards
- Cost and efficiency barriers in hydrography
- Future trends in sensor fusion and AI
🎙 Expert Panelists:
- José Martínez Díaz, Survey Products Supervisor, Fugro Over 25 years in hydrography and bathymetric lidar; NSPS/THSOA Certified Hydrographer
- Kyle Goodrich, President & Founder, TCarta Leader in satellite-derived bathymetry and PI on multiple NSF/NOAA innovation grants
- Arjan Mooij, Technical Manager, Khatib & Alami Geomatics expert with 19+ years in topographic and bathymetric mapping worldwide
🎤 Moderator:
- Xan Fredericks, USGS National Geospatial Program Emergency Response Coordinator and Co-Chair of the ASPRS Bathymetry Working Group
