Coastal DTC will focus on the development of specific DT components at the land-ocean interface. It will develop five use-cases addressing coastal erosion, flooding, and biodiversity since these are considered critical factors in coastal management because of their influence on ecological health, human well-being, economic value and the resilience of coastal areas.
Use-cases include:
- Coastal erosion and accretion;
- Coastal flooding due to sea-level rise;
- Compound flooding due to extreme events; plus
- Mangrove health and
- Sargassum invasion effects on biodiversity and nature-based solutions for coastal resilience.
It will feature sustained stakeholder engagement throughout the project and will devote special emphasis on AI/ML techniques during the R&D component.
