Changing water levels are affecting our coastal communities and natural systems. This course provides tools and hands-on exercises to support resources managers build skills and knowledge that can be applied to their work in tidally-influenced environments.

The course will cover the following concepts:

• Explore vertical datums and how they relate to one another when working with water level data.
• Identify sources of error in water level data and importance of sensor stability for quality data.
• Explore water level data case studies, tools and applications.
• Perform tidal datum computations to generate water level highs and lows and tidal datums.
• Produce inundation statistical to support marsh management restoration activities.
