CoastAl Foresight’s advanced data integration, predictive modeling, and AI-driven analysis make it highly pertinent to case studies focused on climate change impact monitoring, early warning systems for climate events, and smart monitoring technologies for marine and coastal environments. Its capability to analyze and forecast environmental parameters is a valuable asset for these specific challenges.
CoastAl Foresight is being developed by HARTIS Integrated Nautical Services Ltd, based on PhD research conducted at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). This development represents a direct application of academic research into a practical, innovative tool for coastline monitoring and climate resilience. The PhD research at NTUA, focusing on remote sensing and cartography, provided understanding into methodologies and technologies suitable for advanced coastal monitoring, including hydrospatial and geospatial data use. Building upon this research, HARTIS is transforming these academic concepts into a tangible product. As a company with expertise in nautical services and a member of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), HARTIS is uniquely positioned to develop a tool that incorporates cutting-edge research while aligning with industry standards and practical usability. The development of CoastAl Foresight by HARTIS exemplifies the translation of academic research into a commercially viable and technologically advanced solution, adapting and enhancing NTUA’s research to meet the specific needs of coastal management and climate resilience planning.
As CoastAl Foresight progresses from its prototype stage, several factors shape its development and effectiveness. Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) plays a crucial role in data acquisition, providing a reliable source for necessary hydrospatial information. This approach addresses potential issues of data scarcity, ensuring a steady supply of quality data for analysis. Training data presents a notable challenge. The effectiveness of the AI algorithms within CoastAl Foresight hinges on the availability of comprehensive and diverse training datasets. Gathering such data, especially from less monitored or variable coastal regions, is crucial for the system’s accuracy and learning capabilities. Regarding adaptability to changing environmental conditions, the AI component of CoastAl Foresight is designed to learn and adjust to new patterns and anomalies. This adaptive ability is expected to enhance the tool’s performance in dynamic and unpredictable scenarios, making it a resilient solution in the face of environmental changes. Adherence to FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles is a foundational aspect of the system’s development. This commitment ensures that CoastAl Foresight will be compatible with a wide range of existing datasets and technological infrastructures, facilitating its integration into various coastal management frameworks. Maintenance simplicity is also a key focus in the development of CoastAl Foresight. The goal is to create a system that is not only technologically advanced but also user-friendly and easy to maintain, making it accessible to a broad spectrum of users, including those with limited technical expertise. This approach aims to maximize the tool’s applicability and longevity in diverse operational environments.
