Storm Surge Hazards

Active
By Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED) Applications Project September 12, 2019

The USGS Coastal National Elevation Database Applications Project organized a workshop in cooperation with the College of Staten Island-City University of New York to discuss storm surge modeling and get input from scientists across a broad community. The workshop, held on April 22-23, 2014 on the College of Staten Island campus, is part of a larger project intended to enhance topobathymetric elevation models for inclusion in hydrodynamic models, and optimize elevation data and other lidar-related data for the benefit of the storm surge and wave modeling community.

Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED) Applications Project

High-resolution coastal elevation data is required to identify flood, hurricane, and sea-level rise inundation hazard zones and other earth science applications, such as the development of sediment transport and storm surge models. Light detection and ranging (lidar) enables the rapid collection of very accurate elevation data over large areas, and during the last decade, airborne laser altimetry...
