Watch our latest webinar, hosted with our partners from the University of Delaware and TetraTech, exploring the updates to MARACOOS OceansMap—our interactive platform that brings together near-real-time coastal data to support smarter, faster decision-making.
This session spotlighted the new Water Level, Waves, and Webcams (WWW) network, a coordinated effort to bring low-cost, high-impact sensors to communities across the region. Learn how these tools are being deployed strategically, with a live walkthrough of sensor locations and localized, real-world examples. Learn how community partners are using water level sensors to better understand local flooding risks, and discover how webcam data is adding critical situational awareness from regional experts.
You’ll also hear about current OceansMap Insights, explore visualizations of real-time data, and get a preview of what’s coming next. Have ideas for additional insights or data layers? This is your chance to share them.
Who should watch? County and city officials, emergency managers, planners, coastal zone professionals, community advocates—and anyone working to make Mid-Atlantic communities safer and better informed.
About the Speakers:
Dr. Alexandra Schueller is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Delaware’s Center for Applied Coastal Research and a Guest Investigator at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). Her work focuses on nearshore hydrodynamics, coastal resilience, and flood emergency management. She co-leads a MARACOOS-funded project in Delaware and recently led post-storm reconnaissance efforts in Florida. Before academia, she worked for over a decade as a civil engineer and manager in public water administration in Germany and coordinated post-flood response efforts in a crisis team after the 2021 Ahr Valley disaster. Dr. Schueller earned her doctoral degree from the Technical University Kaiserslautern, Germany, in 2022 with a dissertation on improving flood emergency strategies. She is a member of ASCE’s Coastal Engineering Research Council.
