Bathymetric LIDAR

Bathymetric LIDAR is a remote sensing technology that uses lasers to measure the depth of water bodies, such as lakes and oceans. It works by emitting laser pulses from an aircraft, which then bounce off the water surface and the seabed. By analyzing the time it takes for the laser to return, scientists can create detailed maps of underwater terrains. This technique is valuable for marine research, environmental monitoring, and navigation, as it provides crucial information about underwater features that are often difficult to survey using traditional methods.
