Data analysis: linking terrestrial and ocean data sets Thursday 11th October 2012, Brest, France
An interactive workshop to identify innovation opportunities exploiting leading-edge marine science and technology. 11th October 2012, Brest, France. Pole Mer Bretagne and its international partners are holding this event within Sea tech Week 2012, to highlight state‐of‐the‐art technologies and roadmap the next breakthroughs in data managing in coastal areas.
Coastal areas host substantial economic and recreational activities. These activities, along with climate change, present potential pressures and risks, such as point source, diffuse pollution from catchments, sea-level rise, aquifer submersion, coastline erosion or oil spills. Despite extensive monitoring data of all kinds, linking properly together the watersheds, rivers, estuaries
and coastal seas is still an issue.
This workshop is an opportunity for experts (from scientific, engineering and commercial perspectives) to:
* Explore the deficiencies of current state-of-the-art,
* Consider the potential for advances in know-how and technology,
* Identify challenges to improve data management in the land sea continuum.
The target audiences invited are experts (scientists, engineers and decision-makers from private and public institutions) designing or using models coupling land-ocean and facing data management issues (in terms of data analysis and processing). The organisers aim to achieve a mix of participants with representation from different countries.
