This grant is for advancing research into the development, characterization, and application of topographic-bathymetric digital elevation models (TBDEMs). The US Geological Survey seeks a CESU partner to improve these crucial models, which are extensively used for coastal modeling, hazards assessment, and marine spatial planning. TBDEMs are vital for determining coastal flooding and inundation, enhancing community preparedness, and refining warning systems. As TBDEMs compile diverse data, research is needed for efficient data integration methods. The USGS particularly seeks collaborative efforts for rapid post-storm updates of land topography and water depth, and for capturing comprehensive TBDEM uncertainty information.

| Additional Information on Eligibility: | This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESU’s are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education. Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the Rocky Mountains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. |
Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in development, characterization, and application of topographic-bathymetric digital elevation models (TBDEM). Integrated high-resolution seamless TBDEMs are used extensively for coastal modeling and hazards assessment to support coastal marine spatial planning. TBDEMs have variable spatial coverage and resolution and are essential for determining the timing and extent of coastal flooding and inundation, and thus are critical for improving community preparedness, event forecasting, and warning systems. Because TBDEMs are derived from a wide variety of topographic and bathymetric source data of disparate age, quality, resolution, and accuracy from numerous federal, state, and local government agencies, research is needed on efficient and robust methods for data integration. USGS is particularly interested in collaborative research into methods for efficient and rapid update of TBDEMs with newly acquired post-storm land topography and water depth information, and research on capturing and representing comprehensive TBDEM uncertainty information. |
