With an uncertain future that includes climate change, sea level rise and increasing coastal populations, being able to make informed policy decisions in coastal zones will be critical for ensuring the well-being of citizens, the environment and the sustainability of economic activities. Earth observation (EO) can be used to efficiently and systematically provide the key information needed to make these decisions. However, getting access to the right EO in- formation can be a complicated and costly business, limiting availability. However, the launch in April 2014 of the first Sentinel satellite from Europe’s flagship EO program, Copernicus, represents a major advance in the availability of EO data, which has great potential to benefit numerous sectors involved in marine and coastal activities. We discuss some examples of applications being developed and give an example of a new service which intends to support nature-based flood defense schemes.

Technology of 3-D seismic has had a profound and lasting impact on the hydrocarbon exploration and production industry. It is a technology which is often excellent at assessing the risk associated with trap definition, seal, and reservoir distribution-the very parameters which are the most critical to optimizing the economics associated with exploration and production (E&P) projects. Amoco Corp. has reviewed its 3-D seismic experience (159 3-D surveys were acquired at Amoco between 1991-1994) and has assessed the value added by 3-D by reviewing recent E&P experiences in a post-appraisal mode and then applied the lessons learned to potential new projects. The value added depends on expected cost, revenue, timing, and risk changes, and generally is more valuable the earlier it is applied. If 3-D is appropriate for particular projects (that is if the underlying risk associated with a project can be significantly impacted by 3-D), host governments stand to realize much more from 3-D than do oil company partners. Delay in the use of 3-D can significantly erode the ultimate value 3-D can add to the project. In spite of the enthusiastic claims of 3-D seismic, most geoscientists have at one time or another experienced disappointing results with it. Amore » legitimate question remains then: to what degree has 3-D added value to the E&P situations where it has been utilized. The answers to this question are discussed.« less
