English abstract:
The latest technique to combine terrestrial and underwater survey is Airborne Laser Bathymetry (ALB). It is similar to ALS but uses a green, water-penetrating laser and therefore can be applied primarily for mapping surfaces under shallow water. Depending on the water clarity these systems can provide a detailed characterization of the underwater topography and even be used to prospect archaeological sites under shallow water.

The presentation will discuss the possibilities and limitations of bathymetric sensor technique using Austrian lake dwellings and Croatian case study areas in the northern Adriatic Sea.
