OCEANIDS

We are convinced that the production, logistics, and business processes of the future must be more digital, transparent, and reliable. We must increase efficiency in order to remain competitive both nationally and globally. This involves digitizing processes so that we can continuously analyze, optimize, and automate them.

Project description:

OCEANIDS is a Horizon Europe project that develops user-centric digital tools for climate-informed maritime spatial planning (CI-MSP) and integrated coastal management. The project helps ports, municipalities, coastal authorities, and infrastructure operators understand and respond to the impacts of climate change through a unified platform for Earth observation and climate intelligence.

OCEANIDS Coastal Resilience Platform

At the heart of the project is a cloud-based geodata platform developed by OHB-DS that brings together satellite observations, climate projections, environmental monitoring services, and geodata analyses in a single access portal. By making complex environmental information accessible, interoperable, and usable, OCEANIDS supports coastal resilience planning.

The “OCEANIDS Coastal Resilience” platform is available at https://oceanids.lab.dive.edito.eu/ and was developed primarily by OHB-DS as a modern WebGIS interface based on a FastAPI backend and the STAC catalog.

The OCEANIDS platform currently provides six operational data services:

Changes in the coastline based on satellite data (Landsat and Sentinel-2)
Vertical ground movements based on satellite data (Sentinel-1)
Mapping of mudflats using satellite data (Landsat and Sentinel-2)
Coastal Flooding Scenarios
Projections on sea-level rise and wave action
Seasonal weather forecasts using downscaling (wind gusts, temperature, and precipitation)

These services are currently available at 20 coastal locations across Europe.

Earth observation applications for coastal areas developed by OHB-DS

Changes to the coastline based on satellite data (Landsat and Sentinel-2)

Based on more than 40 years of satellite imagery from the Landsat and Sentinel missions, this service provides analyses of changes in the coastline, erosion and accretion rates, and trends in long-term coastal development. Users can identify erosion hotspots and assess the effectiveness of coastal protection measures.

Mapping of mudflats based on satellite data (Landsat and Sentinel-2)

The mudflat mapping service provides near-real-time information on the location of mudflats, based on data from Landsat/Sentinel-2 and a tidal model. It was developed by OHB-DS as part of the EOTideLines application and integrated into OCEANIDS.

This EO downstream application makes it possible to:

• To monitor the location of shifting features such as sandbars, shoals, and navigation channels.

• Optimize the planning and execution of dredging operations by analyzing past sediment transport rates and the direction of sand movement.

• To gain historical insights in order to better understand geomorphological changes in bathymetry within the intertidal zone.

• Identify potential obstacles that could impede navigability in harbor entrances and delay maritime operations.
