Query: Fast and robust mesh generation on the sphere Application to coastal
  domains   This paper presents a fast an robust mesh generation procedure that is able
to generate meshes of the earth system (ocean and continent) in matters of
seconds. Our algorithm takes as input a standard shape-file i.e. geospatial
vector data format for geographic information system (GIS) software. The input
is initially coarsened in order to automatically remove unwanted channels that
are under a desired resolution. A valid non-overlapping 1D mesh is then created
on the sphere using the Euclidian coordinates system $x,y,z$. A modified
Delaunay kernel is then proposed that enables to generate meshes on the sphere
in a straightforward manner without parametrization. One of the main difficulty
in dealing with geographical data is the over-sampled nature of coastline
representations. We propose here an algorithm that automatically unrefines
coastline data. Small features are automatically removed while always keeping a
valid (non-overlapping) geometrical representation of the domain. A Delaunay
refinement procedure is subsequently applied to the domain. The refinement
scheme is also multi-threaded at a fine grain level, allowing to generate about
a million points per second on 8 threads. Examples of meshes of the Baltic sea
as well as of the global ocean are presented.
