GEO Blue Planet Coastal Flooding Working Group
The GEO Blue Planet Coastal Flooding Working Group has identified coastal bathymetry as a key information gap in many regions for the successful development and implementation of coastal flood forecasts. Emily Smail, Executive Director of the GEO Blue Planet Initiative and ESSIC/CISESS Senior Faculty Specialist, and Paul DiGiacomo, Chief of the Satellite Oceanography and Climatology Division in the NOAA/NESDIS Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR), are working to organize an international community of practice to share information on satellite derived bathymetry.
