Call all in the coastal observing community! We welcome you to attend the AGU 2025 meeting (December 15-19, 2025 in New Orleans, LA) and encourage you to submit an abstract by July 30th (23:59 EDT) to this CEOS COAST-VC and CoastPredict jointly sponsored session: OS021 – Satellite and In Situ Observations in Support of the Prediction of Coastal Hazard Impacts for Enhancing the Resilience of Coastal Communities
Submit an Abstract to this Session HERE
This session highlights the advancements in integrating satellite and in situ observations with coastal models to enhance community resilience to ocean hazards. Outcomes will focus on furthering Early Warning Systems for coastal hazards (eg., tsunamis, storm surges, marine heatwaves, biogeochemical hazards), AI/ML model training and climate downscaling validation/calibration. We invite contributions on relevant coastal models,
observations, data assimilation, applications, Digital Twins customized for driving forward science-based management practices and Nature Based Solutions. We also welcome trans-disciplinary contributions that showcase how science protects and strengthens coastal communities through combining environmental, socioeconomic, management and policy aspects of coastal resilience. Early Career Ocean Professionals and Global South researchers are encouraged to submit abstracts. The session is organized by the Program “CoastPredict: observing and predicting the Global Coastal Ocean” (affiliated with the Global Ocean Observing System), and the “Committee on Earth Observation Satellites Coastal Observations Applications Services and Tools Virtual Constellation (CEOS COAST-VC)”.
