In June of 2009, the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), an office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), developed a set of integrated bathymetrictopographic digital elevation models (DEMs) covering the Akutan, Alaska region for the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks (UAF). These DEMs are nested at 8 arc-second1, 8/3 arc-second and 8/15 arc-second, with the highest resolution grid centered on the harbor at Akutan, Alaska. The coastal DEMs will be used as input for the university developed modeling system to simulate tsunami generation, propagation, and inundation. The DEMs were generated from diverse digital datasets in the region and were designed to represent modern morphology. They will be used for tsunami inundation modeling by the Alaska Earthquake Information Center in support of the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program. This report provides a description of the data sources and methodology used to develop the Akutan DEMs. |
