EMODNet Hydrography results presented at GEBCO Science Day - 4 Oct 2011

24 October 2011

The progress and interim results of the EMODNet Hydrography project have been presented at the GEBCO Science Day in La Jolla, USA, 4th October 2011. The presentations were given by:

• Marzia Rovere and Federica Foglini of CNR-ISMAR about "The Bathymetry of the Central Mediterranean Sea in the framework of the EMODnet project - a case study of bathymetric data integration and processing"
• Thierry Schmitt of SHOM about "Quality control for multibeam echosounders at SHOM - European bathymetric database and Digital Elevation Model (EMODNet Hydrography project)"

The presentations were well received and further cooperation with GEBCO is agreed in principle, because the EMODNet project can provide a serious improvement of the GEBCO bathymetry in large parts of the European seas.
