Coastal Bathymetry with Advanced Technologies (CoastBAT)

该提案将为先进技术沿海测深提供资金，该设施将在近岸和内陆沃茨提供高分辨率测深，这些水域目前由于成本高和/或传统测量作业难以获取信息而受到限制。获得这些信息（以及监测变化的能力）将开启与沿海科学有关的领域的研究机会，同时使工业界受益，并培训学生使用最新的测深测量方法。这一设备设施是澳大利亚其他学术机构目前没有的低成本解决方案，将促进国内和国际机构之间的合作。

This proposal will fund Coastal Bathymetry with Advanced Technologies (CoastBAT), a facility that will provide high resolution bathymetry in nearshore and inland waters, where information is currently limited due to high cost and/or difficult access by traditional surveying operations. The access to such information (and capability to monitor change) will unlock research opportunities in areas related to coastal sciences, while benefiting industry and training students in the use of the most up-to-date bathymetric surveying methods. This equipment facility represents a low-cost solution not currently available in other academic institutions in Australia and will facilitate collaborations across institutions nationally and internationally.
