About

We are an international, interdisciplinary team of researchers specializing in oceanography, remote sensing, marine geology, and underwater archaeology. Representing six research institutions from across Europe and beyond, we combine cutting‑edge technologies with field expertise to explore and document shallow coastal environments.

Our project focuses on the Vistula Lagoon—one of the most ecologically and historically valuable yet poorly mapped areas along the Polish coast of the southern Baltic Sea. By integrating airborne LiDAR bathymetry, hydroacoustic surveys, satellite‑derived bathymetry, and shallow seismic profiling, we aim to produce the first high‑resolution seafloor model of the Lagoon.

Beyond mapping depth and seafloor structure, our work supports the identification of benthic habitats, submerged landscapes, and previously unknown archaeological sites. The results will contribute to marine protection, sustainable coastal management, and a deeper understanding of the Lagoon’s natural and cultural heritage.

We believe in open science, international collaboration, and the power of modern remote sensing to reveal what lies beneath the surface.
