The Group on Earth Observations (GEO) is pleased to co-host with the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) a webinar entitled "Engaging Users in Solving Coastal Issues" on October 5, 2021 from 8:00 a.m.- 9:30 a.m. ET. The aim of the webinar is to illustrate the utility of Earth observations (EO) in providing evidence-based solutions to environmental challenges.
CEOS Coastal Observations, Applications, Services, and Tools (COAST) seeks to engage with coastal stakeholders to guide the next stages of the project. At this community webinar, you will learn more about CEOS COAST and see product demonstrations focused on solving coastal issues in pilot regions centered on the Bay of Bengal (Bangladesh) and the Chesapeake Bay (US). COAST EO applications will be co-developed and co-designed with users to improve decision making and enhance products with local data for validation. Initial focus areas include: Flooding and Inundation, Bathymetry/coastline mapping, Coastal Eutrophication, and Turbidity/Sedimentation.
By showcasing some of the EO products and services currently available, the aim is to gather feedback and to use this to refine and tailor existing products to other coastal communities around the world. The development of new EO products will also be considered if issues are raised through this consultation.
The webinar will be held using Zoom and Slido will be used for Q&A. The Slido code is #EngagingUsers.
