On September 10, 2024, Isabella Metz will present her Inno Lab results on ” Enhancing Satellite Data Processing for Global Shallow Water Bathymetry at EOMAP” at 12:00 in seminar room 3, John-Skilton-Str. 4a.
From the abstract: About 75% of the oceans have not yet been mapped, which leads to considerable information gaps in e.g. marine research and coastal protection. Direct measurement methods to map the depths and structures of the seafloor are time-consuming and cost-intensive. Therefore an international project to provide a global shallow water bathymetry dataset from satellite data has been initiated. In order to adapt to the different morphological conditions of the world, the project involves several approaches to calculate the water depth, e.g. via wave kinematics.
