From Wikipedia:
Not very well written, but it sounds like remote sensing, geophysics, mapping and geotechnical knowledge. The JGES process is necessarily generalist, as it has to be flexible. Its main criteria seem to be things like level of qualification, responsibility, how many people you supervise, that sort of thing.
Quote:quote:A hydrographic survey differs from a bathymetric survey in some important respects, particularly in a bias toward least depths, because of the safety requirements of the former and geomorphologic descriptive requirements of the latter. As just one important example the echosoundings will be conducted under settings biased toward least depths while in bathymetric surveys they will be set for best description of the submarine topographical features that may include sound velocity and slope corrections that are more accurate but eliminate the safety bias.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrographer
