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.
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.

Research Vessels
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.
Test Tanks
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.
