The University of New

Hampshire has a

wonderful Center for Coastal

Mapping/Joint Hydrographic

Center which works to train

future ocean mappers and create

revolutionary new tools for ocean

exploration. 

Page 3: UNH Research Facilities

A lot of research occurs in

this center, including

improving sensors made to

map large bodies of water for

further accuracy, working on

ocean mapping in 3D and 4D,

and in-depth studies of

coastal processes.

Here are the facilities in

which this

revolutionary research

occurs:

Research Vessels

Page 6: UNH Research Facilities

These test tanks are both a wave

tank

and an engineering tank. The wave

tank has wave-maker software that

helps test instrumentation while the

engineering tank is used for research,

machine tests, and classes.

The Library: Contains thousands of books

and journals on ocean mapping and

hydrography.

Computer/Electronics Labs: Have a large

number of equipment and tools.

High Bay Facility: Has multiple work

bays, and also holds the Center’s two test

tanks.

Data Visualization Research Lab:

Is focused on 3D simulations.

This piece of technology is essential

to

remote research, as well as to the

ability to collaborate with other

researchers. It is one of the few in the

United States!
