Scientific Requirements Workshop

Earth Observation Advanced science Tools for Sea level Extreme Events (EOatSEE) is a project funded by ESA and aims to provide an advanced reconstruction of the relevant processes included in Extreme Sea Level (ESL) events and its related coastal hazards, by taking advantage of the novel capabilities and synergies offered by the latest advances in Earth Observation (EO) technology. To advance the knowledge regarding ESL events, the project includes the implementation of six different use cases located in key vulnerable areas aiming the development of a Scientific Roadmap. In order to develop this roadmap, which will guide future developments on the outcomes of the project, the Scientific Requirement Workshop (Wednesday, 21 September 2022, 9:00 to 17:00 CEST, online) will address the following issues: Review of the project key Science Cases and the proposed approach to address them, welcoming the feedback and criticism of the invited experts Discussion on further scientific and observational information gaps and the potential need for the development of new services or products to address ESL events Roadmap for a long-term research and development plan to address major scientific challenges and observation gaps for a 3-to-5-year range as well as a transition from research to operational activities, including capacity building and communication
