From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other people named Walter Smith, see Walter Smith (disambiguation).

Walter H. F. Smith is a geophysicist, currently working in NOAA's Laboratory for Satellite Altimetry. He was formerly Chair of the scientific and technical sub-committee of GEBCO from 2003 to 2013.[1]

Smith earned a BSc at the University of Southern California, and an MA, MPhil and PhD degrees at Columbia University. He was a post-doctoral fellow at the Institute for Geophysics and Planetary Physics of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography until joining NOAA in 1992.[2] Smith is a fellow of the American Geophysical Union, nominated for his contributions to marine geodesy.[3]

Along with Pål Wessel, Smith created the Generic Mapping Tools, an open-source collection of computer software tools for processing and displaying geographic and Cartesian datasets.[4] Smith and Wessel developed and maintain the Global Self-consistent, Hierarchical, High-resolution Geography Database.[5]
