| Notes | Good maps are a necessary part of understanding and tracking environmental changes. Construction, dredging, storms and floods, sedimentation, and other changes should be tracked on a regular basis. Good maps of estuaries, however, can be infrequently created and hard to find. Conventional surveying methods don’t work underwater, it can be difficult to survey an area from a mudflat, and mapping from the air can be very expensive. In this Master’s thesis, the author describes a method of mapping estuaries that involves several relatively inexpensive methods, and that can be repeated. “The results indicate that the methods developed in this study can form a cost-effective means of repeat topobathymetric mapping of estuaries at repeat frequencies sufficient to address a range of science needs” (from the Abstract). The major professor was Chris Parrish. |
