Coastal Coupling Community of Practice
Executive Committee Meeting held in May 2024
The Coastal Coupling Community of Practice Steering Committee held a two-day meeting to formally set a roadmap for the next 5 years. Established priorities include improving forecasting, marsh migration ecosystem modeling, topographic and bathymetric datasets, and outreach.
The Coastal Coupling Community of Practice (CCCoP) is a scientific group that helps guide the next generation of approaches for coupling models of inland hydrology and the coastal ocean.
The Steering Committee leads the CCCoP and is composed of Federal members from NOAA, USACE, and the USGS, as well as academia.
On May 1-2, 2024, they held a two-day meeting at the NOAA campus in Silver Spring, Maryland to create a formal roadmap that prioritizes the group’s mission over the next 5 years.
The roadmap includes...
-
Improving Total Water Level forecasting
-
Prioritizing temperature and salinity in the transition zone for marsh migration ecosystem modeling
-
Creating better merged topographic and bathymetric datasets
-
Providing communications and educational outreach
Formalized guidance will be released soon for continued scientific support and interaction.
More about the CCCoP
The CCCoP has over 500 participants with expertise spanning science, modeling, forecasting, and coastal management.
Their goals are to advance predictive capabilities in the coastal zone by developing and implementing improved approaches for coupling models of inland hydrology and the ocean, and to establish an active, functioning, and sustainable community to develop coastal solutions.
