Event Description
Boost your technical skills with our unique, optional hands-on workshop. This focused session will begin with a comprehensive overview of SWOT data (Surface Water and Ocean Topography data), covering its core principles and data products. Next, we will explore the key challenges and limitations of utilizing this data. The core of the workshop will then shift to practical, real-world applications in hydrology and hydraulics. This hands-on portion allows you to download, visualize, and query real SWOT datasets, building immediate, transferrable skills for your projects. We will conclude with an open forum for discussion, shared insights, and Q&A.
