Description

Foreshore Assessment using Space Technology [1] (FAST, 2014-2018, EU-FP7 607131) has created a platform for EU Earth Observation (EO) Programme Copernicus services, to support cost-effective, nature-based shoreline protection. Called “MI-SAFE”, it is developed with Open Source (OS) Intelligent Geographical Information System (IGIS) components from the OpenEarth [2] stack, and interoperable OGC standards. Processing large volumes of EO data for global coastal vegetation and elevation products is done using the cloud native Google Earth Engine platform. These are intelligently combined with other layers to form the inputs to XBeach [3], an OS hydrodynamic model developed by Deltares, UNESCO-IHE and TU Delft. Access to data is via a web-based user interface with different resolutions and complexity (Educational and Expert modes), and a Catalogue Service for the Web (CSW). MI-SAFE is intended to be a sustainable contribution to coastal Nature-based Solutions, increasing both awareness and facilitating advanced modelling, within the engineering community.
