Hydro4 Symposium
01 Sep 2003
The Hydrographic Society , which is presently devolving into the International Federation of Hydrographic Societies (IFHS), is to hold its 14th biennial international symposium in Galway, Ireland from 2-4 November 2004.
It will be the fifth such event to be held outside the UK following earlier stagings in Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Rotterdam and most recently, Kiel. The choice of Ireland, says The Society, is particularly timely as the national Geological Survey Division is currently engaged in mapping an offshore area ten times larger than the country itself.
Proceedings, which will also include a major exhibition of equipment and services, workshops, field demonstrations and anticipated visits by specialist survey vessels, are being co-sponsored by several leading international survey and maritime organisations.
Main theme of the Hydro4 symposium is Diversity, with the aim of providing a forum for addressing the use of hydrographic expertise for non-traditional survey applications in new seagoing operations while conversely exploring potential benefits for exploiting non-traditional survey techniques within the hydrographic profession itself. Related technical issues and topics will include Bathymetry, Coastal Zone Management & Protection, Data Acquisition & Management, Electronic Charting, GIS and Positioning. 300-word Englishlanguage abstracts of proposed papers, by disk or email in Word 2000 format, are required by 31 March 2004.
They should be submitted to the Symposium organising committee from whom further general details are also available at Hydro4, 74 Callington Road, Saltash, Cornwall PL12 6DY, UK.
