The National Oceanic and

critical perspectives on the needs of the maritime sector which
are extremely valuable in our mission to improve the safety and
efficiency of maritime navigation.”

Manual” for which publication of the 3rd edition is pending.
He has managed major mapping programs for NOAA, the U.S.
Geological Survey, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Federal
Emergency Management Agency, and state, county, city, and
private clients. Maune serves as the project manager for the
firm’s independent quality assurance/quality control contracts
with various states and counties. Using interferometric
synthetic aperture radar, Maune is managing the mapping of
the entire state of Alaska, which has never before been mapped
