Erosion / Sediment Transport on the European Shoreline Monitoring Service - Secondary<br />
Objective<br />
The erosion / sediment transport on the European shoreline monitoring service is dedicated to assess<br />
the impacts of natural events like floods and storms, as well as increased river discharge on the<br />
European shoreline. Even though that the formulated user needs (see TMAP [RD M4]) demand for a<br />
spatial resolution in the range of 1-5 m, which is not achievable by Geo-Oculus, the short delay of<br />
image acquisition and delivery combined with a still high spatial resolution, denote Geo-Oculus as an<br />
indispensable mission for this service; hence the focus of the service is to timely provide data for<br />
damage assessment on demand of the authorities.<br />
