Team MEWO publication

We are very pleased to report that MEWO Experts from the Geophysical Data Processing Department – @Łukasz Gajewski and @Mateusz Kołakowski – processed multibeam echosounder data, as well as combined and analysed the datasets together with Lidar data, for the publication entitled “High resolution optical and acoustic remote sensing datasets of the Puck Lagoon”. Please see below for a summary and follow the link for the full publication.

High resolution optical and acoustic remote sensing datasets of the Puck Lagoon | Scientific Data (nature.com)

“The very shallow marine basin of Puck Lagoon in the southern Baltic Sea, on the Northern coast of Poland, hosts valuable benthic habitats and cultural heritage sites. These include, among others, protected Zostera marina meadows, one of the Baltic’s major medieval harbours, a ship graveyard, and likely other submerged features that are yet to be discovered. Prior to this project, no comprehensive high-resolution remote sensing data were available for this area. This article describes the first Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) derived from a combination of airborne bathymetric LiDAR, multibeam echosounder, airborne photogrammetry and satellite imagery. These datasets also include multibeam echosounder backscatter and LiDAR intensity, allowing determination of the character and properties of the seafloor. Combined, these datasets are a vital resource for assessing and
