The West Australian Region of the Australasian Hydrographic Society has organised a Technical Presentation held on 09th May 2016 at the “HIVE” CURTIN UNIVERSITY.

The “HIVE” (Hub for Immersive Visualisation and eResearch) at Curtin University offers “state of the art” visualisation systems for displaying data more effectively and imaginatively.

Four presenters from the Centre for Marine Science & Technology (CMST) have presented their important research work. Dr Iain Parnum presented an impressive recent research work showing how to use multibeam systems for mapping marine ecosystems. Following that Dr Tim Gourlay demonstrated his research about recent developments in ship hydrodynamics modelling and measurement at CMST.

The role of multibeams and echosounders in fishing industry was highlighted by Dr Miles Parsons in his presentation called “Fishing and pinging: what role can echo-sounders play fisheries management?”  

The HIVE 3D visualization screen impressed all the attendees with 3D Imaging Survey of HMAS Sydney (II) and HSK Kormoran displayed and presented by Dr Andrew Woods.
