| hydrographic-surveyor | Occupational skill for the role 'hydrographic surveyor' (also: hydrography surveyor, hydrographic science researcher, hydrographic research analyst, hydrographic scientist, hydrographic analyst, field hydrographer). Use when the user asks for typical hydrographic surveyor work such as: Position and hold the vertical rods, or targets, that theodolite operators use for sighting to measure angles, distances, and elevations.; Check all layers of maps to ensure accuracy, identifying and marking errors and making corrections.; Design or develop information databases that include geographic or topographic data. |
Hydrographic Surveyor
Hydrographic surveyors measure and map, by means of specialised equipment, marine environments. They collect scientific data in order to study the underwater topography and morphology of bodies of water.
Core workflow
- Position and hold the vertical rods, or targets, that theodolite operators use for sighting to measure angles, distances, and elevations.
- Check all layers of maps to ensure accuracy, identifying and marking errors and making corrections.
- Design or develop information databases that include geographic or topographic data.
- Monitor mapping work or the updating of maps to ensure accuracy, inclusion of new or changed information, or compliance with rules and regulations.
- Produce or update overlay maps to show information boundaries, water locations, or topographic features on various base maps or at different scales.
- Determine scales, line sizes, or colors to be used for hard copies of computerized maps, using plotters.
- Compile information necessary to stake projects for construction, using engineering plans.
- Identify and compile database information to create requested maps.
