About
A coastal region comprising multiple cities required a strategic assessment of rising sea levels and intensifying storm activity. Facing increasingly severe weather events driven by climate change, the region sought to understand the vulnerability of critical infrastructure and to develop longterm resilience strategies. Geospatial Intelligence was engaged to conduct a comprehensive analysis using Earth Observation data to model stormsurge scenarios and identify highrisk coastal zones.
The Challenge
The coastal cities face escalating climateinduced threats that endanger infrastructure, communities, and longterm urban resilience. The primary risks identified included:
-
SEALEVEL RISE
Rising ocean levels are placing growing pressure on coastal settlements, increasing the likelihood of inundation and longterm land loss.
-
EXTREME STORM SURGES
Severe weather events are becoming more intense and frequent, with 5 m and 10 m stormsurge scenarios projected to cause widespread damage if unmitigated.
-
INFRASTRUCTURE EXPOSURE
Transport corridors, utilities and essential community assets are increasingly vulnerable as storm events become less predictable and more destructive.
Through this project, the cities gained high resolution modelling and scenario-based insights, enabling them to proactively plan for future coastal hazards. Our analysis now underpins improved emergency planning, infrastructure investment, and strategic climate adaptation.
