Phoenix LiDAR Releases New Bathymetric System, the HydroRANGER

Now more than ever, there is an urgent need for consistent bathymetric mapping in highly dynamic coastal shorelines. To fulfill this industry-wide need, Phoenix LiDAR Systems has decided to offer the ultimate high-resolution land/water interface mapping solution! 

Near-shore topobathymetric digital elevation models are essential for navigation and ocean science and imperative for a wide range of applications; from studying the effects of climate change and generating hydrodynamic models to creating nautical charts and assisting in coral habitat conservation.

The Phoenix LiDAR HydroRANGER provides dual purpose topographic and bathymetric measurements for full scene mapping of shoreline systems. Utilizing a visible green spectrum laser with an elliptical scan pattern and measurement rates up to 200 kHz, the HydroRANGER provides a combination of high spatial resolution and spatial accuracy. Capable of reaching beyond 2 Secchi depths, this is the ideal solution for mapping land-water interface environments along rivers, reservoirs, oceans and more!
