Future Plans

• Development of novel data fusion methods for
  characterizing dynamic processes in
  geomorphology, e.g., coastal erosion and flood
  risk, landslides
• Development and commercialization of processing
  and visualization software for fusing multisensor
  data

Advancing Coastal Hazard Assessment with
Satellite Geodesy

• UB is an international partner of gCOAST, which
  is a pilot project sponsored by Phase IV of
  GEOIDE that will reinforce the strength of
  Canadian geodetic, oceanographic and geomatics
  research.
• Our plans include the collection of Mapping the
  Niagara River morphology by airborne, terrestrial
  and boat-mounted laser scanners and bathymetry.
• Methods to be developed for data fusion to
  monitor coastal environment
• Participants
• Bea Csatho and Marcus Bursik (UB), Alexander
  Braun (U. of Calgary), Toni Schenk (OSU/UB)

Summary

• Bob Raum, chair of Industrial Advisory Board of
  CIES, has provided invaluable assistance to
  engage to RSL in activities related to imaging
  science in NY state, especially in interactions
  between universities and industry
• Although remote sensing could provide critically
  needed information for monitoring important
  surficial processes of our planet -- it is
  difficult to commercialize applications related
  to geologic remote sensing
• We have a great team and we will keep going!!!
