Digital elevation models of underwater structures from UAV imagery
The paper presents a workflow for the generation of digital elevation models (DEMs) of underwater areas from aerial images. Standard software products do not provide the possibility to triangulate correctly through refractive interfaces, such as water. Known procedures are based on oriented images and known water levels with DEM determination via forward intersection based on reconstructed image ray paths (ray tracing). In this article an integrated procedure for image orientation as well as DEM extraction from aerial imagery containing both land and underwater areas is presented. The proof of concept was done by capturing UAV imagery of shallow water areas of a high-alpine lake in the Swiss Alps. The processed data set will be presented and the extraction and matching of image points observed through water are discussed. The accuracy potential as well as practical limitations of processing multimedia data are analysed.

Mass wasting in Lake Constance – A GIS-based geo-morphometric reconnaissance
New high-resolution hydroacoustic data from the »Tiefenschärfe« project in Lake Constance (central Europe) reveals a large amount of mass wasting events occurring on all slopes and influencing large parts of the lake floor. Within a GIS-supported geomorphologic investigation, a manual picking of mass transport deposits, as well as a digital reconnaissance were carried out, based on the visual appearance of mass transport deposits and on elevation-derived morphometric parameters, respectively. Subjective manual and objective (semi-)automatic detection strategies show the usability of the latter to be a new, easy-to-use assistive tool for identifying mass transport deposits in large bathymetric data sets and quantifying the morphological imprint of events on the lake floor. The iteratively determined algorithm divides mass wasting occurrences into the sub-features break-off edge, transport channel and depositional lobe and suggests morphometric dependencies for each sub-feature. Because Lake Constance consists of three mutually independent subbasins the algorithm success differs somewhat, which we credit to locally changing hydrodynamic and sedimentologic patterns.

A keystone in the defence oceanography community
As a scientist at the Underwater Acoustics and Marine Geophysics Research Institute of the German Federal Armed Forces (FWG) Thomas Wever has left remarkable traces with his contributions to the international research community. Above all the organisation of a symposium called »The Ocean’s Seafloor – One Bio-Geo System« was a gift to his colleagues. The results of this superb conference in October 2016 in Hannover are still resonating.

In memoriam Dr. Thomas Wever
Am Samstag, dem 28. Oktober 2017, verstarb nach langer und schwerer Krankheit Herr Dr. Thomas Wever im Alter von 59 Jahren. Der Wissenschaftler bei der WTD 71 im Forschungsbereich für Wasserschall und Geophysik (FWG) in Kiel war schon lange krank, dennoch kam sein Tod für seine Kollegen und Freunde unerwartet, da er bis zuletzt zuversichtlich war, die Krankheit besiegen zu können.

GMT und DHyG intensivieren ihre Zusammenarbeit
Seit Jahren arbeiten die Gesellschaft für Maritime Technik (GMT) und die DHyG zusammen. Da heutzutage immer mehr Interessen für die Hydrographie und die hydrographische Wirtschaft vertreten werden müssen, haben sich die beiden Verbände entschlossen, künftig noch enger zu kooperieren. Vor allem ein gemeinsamer Arbeitskreis »Hydrographische Wirtschaft« soll etabliert werden, um Nutzer von hydrographischen Produkten mit den Anbietern zu vernetzen.
