Self-study course - MBES Bathymetric Data Collection using Drones (MBES-1)
After completing the course, you will be able to run bathymetric surveys independently and with confidence — from simple lake transects to complex missions along irregular shorelines.
This course is intended for:
- Hydrographic and land surveyors adding UAV-based bathymetry to their toolkit
- Drone service providers expanding into water-body mapping and inspection
- Engineers and technicians responsible for monitoring reservoirs, ports, rivers, and coastal infrastructure
- Survey teams already using UgCS who are adopting the EchoNIMBUS-MBES payload
Basic drone piloting knowledge and familiarity with UgCS fundamentals are recommended. The course is not intended for complete beginners with no UAV experience, and it does not cover post-processing of bathymetric data in third-party hydrographic software — the focus is on mission planning, execution, and data verification.
