ArcGIS Bathymetry GIS enables bathymetric data management by providing an easy-to-use, scalable solution that leverages the power of ArcGIS. Its ability to support a broad range of data types, combined with the visualisation and analysis tools in ArcGIS, increases the value of your bathymetry data. Bathymetry offers intuitive user interfaces and geoprocessing tools that are suitable for novice and advanced GIS users. Customised metadata streamlines data access and enables quick generation of custom bathymetric surfaces through targeted data selection and prioritisation. Information can be extracted on the fly, eliminating unnecessary duplication.

What can you do with ArcGIS Bathymetry?

Bathymetry GIS

Unlock the power of a GIS-based system and take advantage of its many capabilities, including analysis, visualisation, and serving data for charting and other needs.

Streamline bathymetric data management

No need to learn complex data management. Bathymetric datasets are left in their original storage location(s) and are managed from one central point, eliminating the need for data duplication or increased data storage.

Customise metadata

ArcGIS Bathymetry offers tools that allow you to define custom metadata associated with your data. This streamlines access to data and enables quick filtering and sorting of archives to generate models of the seafloor.

An interoperable system

ArcGIS Bathymetry is deployed on already established desktop and enterprise systems and does not require significant infrastructure changes. Data can be exchanged across various visualisation and hydrographic software packages and across organisations.

Generate unique products

Integrate bathymetry archives with other geospatial information to generate unique information products, including sea-level-rise models, flood hazard maps, and habitat models. Produce nautical products based on survey date or survey vintage, resolution, zone of confidence, or any other custom combination of criteria.
