Current Coastal Topography and Bathymetry Activities

Topographic and Bathymetric Data Inventory for the Gulf of Mexico Now Available

The Gulf Inventory is a "snapshot" of availability as of November 15, 2007, and it identifies the location, collection date, and sources of available data sets. This resource focuses on high-resolution data sources and is available as part of "A Roadmap to a Seamless Topobathy Surface." More information is available at www.csc.noaa.gov/topobathy/inventory

Central and Northern California IfSAR Data Now Available to Coastal Resource Managers

Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IfSAR) data covering the coast of California from the Oregon border to Santa Barbara County are now available. This data set is licensed and requires a signed license agreement before data delivery. State and local agencies and nongovernmental organizations that conduct coastal management activities are covered by NOAA's license. Southern California IfSAR data, covering the entire area from Santa Barbara through San Diego counties, are available without license. For further information, contact Keil.Schmid@noaa.gov.

Bare Earth Data for Indiana and Pennsylvania

A bare earth product was created from the JALBTCX data collected along the Great Lakes shoreline in Pennsylvania and parts of Indiana . A similar data set is being created for the data collected along the Great Lakes shoreline in Michigan.
