High-tech mapping to help Tuvalu adapt to rising seas
High-tech mapping over Tuvalu in the last week is expected to provide comprehensive data which will help it adapt to rising seas.
The geotech firm Fugro is using a small plane to map the coastal seafloor and the elevation of the land using sophisticated sensors.
The plane has been flying out of Funafuti and, like a harvester over a field of wheat, it slowly goes over the entire island in parallel lines collecting data and high resolution photos.
