Students who successfully complete the paper will:
- Prepare for a hydrographic survey by completing pre-analysis and planning tasks (including formulating a rigorous quality control strategy)
- Observe tide and current dynamics and to be introduced to advanced tidal and current studies
- Establish horizontal and vertical control for a hydrographic survey to IHO standards
- Conduct a complete 3-week hydrographic survey involving all associated management tasks to IHO and LINZ standards
- Consolidate navigation and seamanship skills
- Prepare a comprehensive report of survey based on pre-planning assignment, project management exercises and the hydrographic survey to IHO requirements
