MBSHC/CHMMN 2011 – EMODNET-Hydrography

The EU EMODNET-Hydrographypilot project

MBSHC/CHMMN 2011 – EMODNET-Hydrography 2 / 16

EMODNET-Hydrography objectives

EU (DG MARE) : service contracts for creating pilot components of EMODNET

EMODNET : To migrate fragmented and inaccessible marine data into interoperable, continuous and publicly available data streams for complete maritime basins

Pilot components : To define processes, best technology and approximate costs of a final EMODNET

Hydrography portal : one of the portals developed as part of the preparatory actions

MBSHC/CHMMN 2011 – EMODNET-Hydrography 3 / 16

EMODNET-Hydrography : partnership

10 partners : MARIS, ATLIS (NL), IFREMER, SHOM (FR), NERC/NOCS (UK), GSI (IE), IEO (ES) + OGS (IT), HCMR (GR), UNEP-GRID Arendal (NO, int. Organization)

3 associated partners : ISMAR-CNR (IT) + IHPT (PT) + LNEG (PT)

MBSHC/CHMMN 2011 – EMODNET-Hydrography 4 / 16

EMODNET-Hydrography : approach

To involve institutes, authorities and HO’s in providing hydrographic data sets for producing Digital Terrain Models with resolution of 0.25*0.25 minute

To use a metadata discovery service : SeaDataNet CDI metadata standard

To develop a high-end hydrographic portal : Powerful spatial database for the DTMs WMS services (OGC) Access to the background data via the CDI

2nd project : Assessment of the total available coverage by multibeam surveys Estimate of the total effort (time and money) required to map deep

and shallow waters
