Course description:

The driving factor for this curriculum is bringing specifics and methods of survey on and under the water surface closer to students; preparation of students for conducting hydrographic survey projects, with special attention to processing and visualising bathymetric data; introducing students to maritime organisations in Croatia and the world. Learning outcomes at the level of the programme to which the course contributes <ul><li>Understand the role of geodesy, geoinformatics and spatial data in modern world, demonstrate competences in measuring systems, methods and technologies of measurement and spatial data collection. <li>Handle geodetic instruments and appropriate measuring equipment properly, and perform geodetic measurements. <li>Establish geodetic networks needed in surveying and stakeout in order to provide the required quality of the works performed in certain space. <li>Exercise appropriate judgements on the basis of performed calculation processing and interpretation of data obtained by means of surveying and its results. <li>Prepare official public documents, reports, graphic and cartographic presentations using the surveying results related to objects in space. <li>Keep pace with and adopt new technological achievements in the field of surveying, geoinformation systems and services based on the position, and the changes in regulations, norms and standards.</ul> Learning outcomes expected at the level of the course <ul><li>Definition of terms Hydrography, bathymetry, oceanography and marine geodesy as well as knowing basics of marine law and maritime domain <li>Knowing basics and specifics of marine cartography and classification of naval navigational maps <li>Explain the role of International Hydrographic organisation and Croatian Hydrographic institute as well as IHO specifications <li>Knowing naval positioning methods <li>Describe clasic and contemporary depth measurement methods and errors occurring during depth measurements <li>Defining the execution plan for hydrographic survey <li>Mastering the use of a singlebeam echosounder in combination with a GNSS receiver <li>Applying modern methods and techniques of hydrographic survey for production of simple analogue and digital plans, maps and similar</ul> Course content broken down in detail by weekly class schedule (syllabus) <ul><li>Definition and activity of hydrography. Elements of oceanography. Adriatic Sea. <li>Coordinate systems and map projections in hydrography. <li>Positioning methods on water surface. Classical methods of positioning. Astronomical positioning methods. Terrestrial positioning methods. <li>Positioning by means of electromagnetic waves. <li>Underwater positioning.
