Delegates from Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, China and PNG and USA attended the 69thInternational Multibeam Beam Training Course at the Port of Brisbane 23 – 28 Nov 2015. Instructors and students alike were unanimous in their praise of Port of Brisbane as host venue and grateful to Giles Stimson (Hydrographic Survey Manager) and his team for their hospitality during the week. For six days participants studied, questioned and debated topics relating to ocean mapping, hydrography and oceanography. Course convener, Nicole Bergersen (Acoustic Imaging, Hydrographic Programs Manager) was full of praise for the extent to which participants engaged with the subject matter presented and looks forward to bringing the course to our region again in Nov 2018.
