The Transformation of the River: The Future
-
NG-CHC Vision
“..advance research, enrich training, and inspire collaboration through highly available innovation-enabling CI (cyberinfrastructure), with a particular focus on geosciences and engineering from the watershed to the coast.”
-
Northern Gulf Coastal Hazards Collaboratory (NG-CHC) (ngchc.org)
Was established to accomplish the following goals: (1) enhance the research competitiveness of the region, (2) advance economic opportunities for our citizens by reducing risks to coastal
vulnerabilities, and (3) catalyze collaborative research via enhanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) The three states in the consortium—Alabama (AL), Louisiana (LA), and Mississippi (MS)—are
leveraging their unique partnerships, proximity, and significant prior investments in CI to advance science and engineering of coastal hazards across the region.
-
1. RII Track-2 CI investments will focus on enhancement of the data
storage along with computing and data management systems that are essential for addressing the challenges of a distributed Coastal Hazard Collaboratory.
1. The objective is to enhance the robustness of connectivity among
NG- CHC institutions and resources. Crucial to the success of this project is the training and development of students, post-docs and others to establish a strong workforce who can lead the development of new cybertools and research.
-
NG-CHC Approach (concluded)
Use the simulation experiments as the
platforms for pursuing five CI strategies: 1. Validate geospatial information to improve
model grid development
2. Community modeling framework
3. Interoperable data sources
4. NG-CHC development
5. Education & outreach

Dynamic Digital Elevation Modeling • One of the greatest challenges for addressing water-land interactions is to
seamlessly link water and land databases, and models.
– Traditionally, land (topographic) data has been referenced to a geodetic vertical datum, such as NAVD88, which is approximately mean sea level (~geoid)
– Hydrographic data (bathymetric), on the other hand, is related to a local chart datum (CD), which is usually some mean lower low water (MLLW) determined in the area
-
Data Resolution – what is optimal?
-
Project Definitions
• Inventory of earth surface data and its characteristics
• Create ADCIRC grid for northern GoM
• Create “coastal” earth surface model
• Create “upland” and “marine” surface model
• Define cybertool needs – survey modelers
• Create cybertools needed by simulation experiments
