MEDIA MENTIONS / Talks

Spreading the word on the submerged world’s beauty and mysteries is a part of our mission. Our publications and talks are addressed to all of the history, archeology and speleology enthusiasts worldwide.

InDepth Magazine by GUE

When: DECEMBER ‘23

An article by Submerged Foundation on the progress of ongoing photogrammetry surveys of flooded mines. It covered the history of photogrammetry, how it came to be of use in the submerged world and the analysis of how cave diving safety can be improved by using the accurate 3d scans.

National Speleology SOciety

Where: Elkins, West Virginia, USA When: JUNE ‘23

2 talks by Marcin Stempniewicz, Submerged Foundation’s Chairman of the Board. He discussed the the challenges and opportunities related to the photogrammetry scanning of the underwater overhead environments and the possible applications in cave cartography. The second talk was dedicated to the history of the Kowary Uranium Mine and it’s historical context in the Cold War era.

Hidden Earth (UK)

Where: Bristol, United Kingdom When: OCTOBER ‘23

Marcin Stempniewicz discussed the the challenges and opportunities related to the photogrammetry scanning of the underwater overhead environments and the possible applications in cave cartography. The Foundation also took the opportunity to present the work-in-progress VR solutions presenting the underwater cave scans acquired up to date.

International Diving Federation

Where: Poland When: JANUARY ‘23

Marcin Stempniewicz discussed the challenges and opportunities related to the photogrammetry scanning of the underwater overhead environments, based ont he Maria Concordia Project example. After the talk we presented the VR experience based on the 3d scan of the Marie Agnes silver mine.

BALTICTECH CONFERENCE

Where: Gdynia, Poland When: NOVEMBER ‘23

Sharing the stage with Mikko Paasi from Bottomline project, Marcin Stempniewicz presented the outcomes of the Poland’s first overhead photogrammetry survey in the Marie Agnes silver mine. Together they discussed the improving technical possibilities of accurate mapping of remote underwater spaces and how this kind of activities can be used in order to improve the cave diver’s safety.

EXPLORER (ODKRYWCA) MAGAZINE

When: OCTOBER ‘23

Article about the progress of ongoing photogrammetry surveys of flooded mines. It covered the history of photogrammetry, how it came to be of use in the submerged world and the analysis of how cave diving safety can be improved by using the accurate 3d scans. It also included the outline of the challenges related to teamwork organization in such a project and thoughts on how to present the 3d outcome to a wider audience.

EXPLORER (ODKRYWCA) MAGAZINE

When: DECEMBER ‘23

Second part of the article by Marcin Stempniewicz on the progress of ongoing photogrammetry surveys of flooded mines. This part included the link to the online photogrammetry map of the Maria Concordia Mine. In this issue of the magazine there are also multiple mentions of the research on WW2 wrecks in the Baltic sea conducted by the Submerged and the Explorer (Odkrywca) teams together

Divers24 magazine

When: FEBRUARY ‘23

Article by Marcin Stempniewicz, Chairman of the Board of the Submerged Foundation on the development of overhead 3d underwater scanning, based on the experiences in the Marie Agnes silver mine in Lower Silesia, Poland. It covered the challenges of this kind of scanning, thoughts on how to present a scan to the wider audience and the overview of the innovative approach to the 3d photogrammetry scanning.
