This in-person workshop is sponsored by NOAA’s Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) and the Disaster Preparedness Program, and hosted by the University of New Hampshire’s Coastal Response Research Center.
Dates
September 10 & 11 (Tuesday and Wednesday) from 8:00 - 4:30 ET each day
Optional outdoor field experiment on Thursday, September 12 (near Gregg Hall at the Facility for Outdoor Remote Sensing (FORT); located near the UNH Police Station)
Workshop Objectives
Overall Objective: Share standards and capabilities for remote sensing subcontractors in operational context. How does one overcome barriers in contracting?
- What are the top operational needs for the use of remote sensing for ORR?
- What are other NOAA entities/partners doing with remote sensing and how can we partner with them or leverage their resources and knowledge to support ORR needs
- How can other NOAA entities/partners (e.g., protected resources, ONMS) assist ORR with its remote sensing needs in the realms of spill response, assessment/restoration, disaster response, marine debris, etc.?
- Prioritized list of research needs. What's new? Lessons learned?
- Ways to transition technologies into operations (e.g., spills, cases, projects)
- Where do our efforts overlap and can you help us/can we help you?
