On Monday, July 17, Roland Romeiser (UMiami) presented a poster entitled "Rapid SAR-Based Mapping of Hurricane Damages After a Landfall," focusing on radargrammetry-derived topography results for the St. Petersburg, FL, area. Access the poster here.
On Thursday, July 20, Stephen Frasier (UMass) gave an oral presentation entitled "Capella X-Band SAR Observations of the Tampa Area During Hurricane Ian Landfall." Access the presentation slideshow here.
Deltares presented their results on coastal flooding and damages due to hurricanes Ian (2022), Idalia (2023), Beryl (2024) and Francine (2024) at ICCE2024 and in Storymap.
A tool for production of rapid-repeat high-resolution coastal vegetation maps has been developed.
The NHCI project coordinated the airdrop of 16 surface wave buoys and subsurface water level sensors in the path of Hurricane Francine.
