🌐🛰️📣Arriving early to the ESA Living Planet Symposium #LPS25 in Vienna, Austria? CEOS COAST is hosting a FREE 80-minute tutorial, demonstrating novel coastal satellite data products. Learn more about what CEOS COAST has to offer coastal natural resource managers and decision-makers! 

📃F.02.20 TUTORIAL – CEOS COAST Demo: Novel coastal satellite data products

🗓Sunday June 22nd, 14:00-15:30 local time

📍Hall L3

⚒️Mobile device to participate in audience polling – no other equipment required

Moderated by Aurelien Carbonniere (CNES, CEOS-COAST Co-Lead) with demonstrations by 

@CNES, @NOAA, @ESA, @Geoscience Australia, @CSIRO, @ISRO

As a new Virtual Constellation within the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites, the Coastal Observations, Applications, Services, and Tools team work together across agencies to co-design new user-demanded coastal products and to test them in 6 pilot regions around the world. With stakeholders involved in the co-design process, the products are guaranteed to be useful and easy to use. COAST also works to improve the quality of existing coastal satellite data.   All products are freely and publicly available via the COAST Application Knowledge Hub, which provides access to a wealth of other publicly accessible data and information on coastal regions which may be of interest to coastal users. 

The tutorial will include:

    • Navigating the Application Knowledge Hub 
    • Shoreline mapping  and Intertidal Elevation products
    • Coastal water quality products 
    • Chlorophyll a and sediment products
    • Materials to take home to access the portal and products after the tutorial and meeting.  

@CSIRO’s Alex Held is also chairing a special session titled “The Role of Spaceborne Imaging Spectroscopy and Drone-based Calibration Data for Integrated Freshwater and Coastal Monitoring”:
