Backscatter Training Testimonials
"I haven't learned this much since my IHO Cat-B training!" – Steven Le Bars, ID OCEAN
" One of the best training courses/ workshops I have attended in a while. The skill of both presenters to deliver fairly complex content in an easy-to-understand way was exceptional.
If you can only undertake one training course this year, make sure its this one! You will come out with a much better appreciation of Backscatter and Multibeam data!" – Andrew Stanley, Ocean Infinity
“The content covered in the course was excellent, especially considering the short duration. The course successfully bridged the gap between theory and practical applications, which was one of its strongest aspects. The inclusion of sonar-specific tips and notes was highly valuable.” - Sy XinhLe, Guardian Geomatics
“Very clear and concise information, provided at an even pace that's accessible for people of all experience and skill levels.”
“I highly recommend JB's services for anyone wanting to do a good job at collecting and processing backscatter data. The workshop is very detailed and tailored to the customer and extremely helpful to prevent any issues in the field.” - Gabriela De Oliveira, McKim & Creed
"A pretty well-packed and complex training, the workshop creates great solid foundation for whose who is dealing with MBES / multi-sensor datasets (processors, QC coordinators, Party Chief etc.) Hosts are extremely experienced in the topic, but the same time they do provide enough clarification on the principles and the idea behind.
The special focus is on the applied aspects, hardware - settings to be used in different circumstances - my favorite part as the field activities is something unreversible should not be underestimated. Definitely recommended for all survey enthusiasts.” – Sergey Provanov, Sulmara
Multibeam Crash Course Testimonials
“The saying goes that knowledge is power, and this HydroOctave course has helped make us more powerful throughout our lineup. It had much value to offer everyone, from new surveyors to seasoned experts and everyone in between. If you are looking to shore up and amp up your organization's multibeam skill base, I highly recommend this course.” - Lawrence Haynes Haselmaier, Jr.; NAVOCEANO NP431 Technical Lead; IHO S-102 Project Team Chair
“Your process for customizing the course according to the needs of the attendees coupled with your decades of expertise in the subject matter clearly enable you to provide highly relevant and effective training.”
“JB did a fantastic job with the delivery of the material and tying subjects together for all skill levels. I highly recommend this course for people involved in the hydrography community to help gain familiarity with modern bathymetry data acquisition systems, QA/QC recommendations, and troubleshooting scenarios.”
“This training should be a prerequisite for anyone coming into the hydrographic science community, as it does a fantastic job of laying the groundwork and teaching the fundamentals of such a complex subject!”
“This course was excellent! It is a practical and efficient way to ensure an entire survey team is on the same page: not only on the fundamentals, but also niche survey knowledge and nuances.”
“Direct and applied approaches to multibeam systems.”
