SECOORA’s Surface Elevation Table Community of Practice (SET CoP) will host an upcoming webinar on August 28, 2026, from 1:00 – 2:00 PM ET, focusing on exploring coastal change with NOAA’s Digital Coast resources. This session is part of the SECOORA SET Webinar Series and will highlight how geospatial data and tools can support SET monitoring and place site-level observations within a broader landscape context.
The webinar will feature Matthew Pendleton, NOAA’s Southeast & Caribbean Regional Geospatial Coordinator, who will introduce Digital Coast and demonstrate how its resources support the SET community.
Speakers
- Matthew Pendleton, Southeast & Caribbean Regional Geospatial Coordinator; GIS Instruction, NOAA
Topics will include:
- NOAA’s Digital Coast and how its geospatial data, tools, and resources support SET monitoring and help place site-level observations within a broader landscape context
- NOAA’s high-resolution C-CAP land cover data and the Data Access Viewer, which provides access to elevation, imagery, and land cover
- A live demonstration of how users can discover and download data for their areas of interest
