Since 1985, the German Hydrographic Society (Deutsche Hydrographische Gesellschaft – DHyG) has published its own hydrographic journal. Today, Journal of Applied Hydrography – Hydrographische Nachrichten is the only journal for hydrography and geoinformation in German-speaking countries. Every year, three issues are printed with articles in German and English language.
In the Journal of Applied Hydrography, scientific articles as well as reports on practical experiences and relevant projects are published. There are also articles about new technical developments, applications and events. Moreover, each issue features a multi-page interview with a leading person from the field of hydrography.
Especially marked scientific articles have undergone a peer review according to international standards.
The printed journal has a circulation of 750 copies and is sent to all members and some libraries also. Furthermore, the journal is distributed at various professional events such as the »Hydrographentage« and Hydro conferences.
