NOTE;LANGUAGE=en;CHARSET=utf-8:Walter H F Smith earned his PhD in marine geophysics in 1990 in the Gravity Department of the Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory of Columbia University (New York\, USA). His thesis was on marine geophysical studies of seamounts in the Western Pacific Ocean. While at Lamont he began his ongoing collaboration with Paul Wessel on the GMT data analysis and map-making software. From 1990 to 1992 he was a "Green Scholar" at the Institute for Geophysics and Planetary Physics of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography\, University of California San Diego\, where he began his ongoing collaboration with David Sandwell on the use of satellite altimetry in ocean mapping. Since 1992 he has been a Geophysicist with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\, in NOAA's Laboratory for Satellite Altimetry in Silver Spring\, Maryland. He has also been a lecturer at the Johns Hopkins University where he taught Data Analysis and Inverse Theory. Walter has worked with GEBCO since 1993 and has served as Scientific Advisor\, member of the Strategic Planning Committee and the ad-hoc working group on Gridding\, Chair of the Integration of Geoscientific Data Working Group\, and currently is Chair of the Sub-Committee on Digital Bathymetry.
