Tools for climate adaptation

Every territory faces its own challenges. We deliver innovative solutions designed for specific contexts.

Sensors, satellite imagery, and predictive models that turn raw data into early warnings and decision-ready risk maps.Restoring mangroves, wetlands, and other green infrastructure that lowers climate risk while regenerating the ecosystem.Technical training and governance models that leave lasting capacity in communities, not just a report.

Products ready to back a decision

A

Processed data

Time series, maps, summary statistics and files ready for further analysis

B

Climate diagnosis

Trends, variability, extremes, future scenarios and uncertainty indicators

C

Decision support

Technical reports, infographics, adaptation indicators and recommendations

Environmental monitoring

Field measurements behind every result

We complement models with data collected on site: cameras and sensors installed in mangroves and water bodies record currents, water levels and ecosystem change to calibrate and validate what we deliver.

What the platform integrates

Four types of data, one single reading of the territory

Climate and ocean models

Historical and projected sea level, tides, waves, storm surge, wind, precipitation, temperature and climate scenarios

Historical observations

Tide gauges, buoys, weather stations, satellite data and instrumental records along the coast

Local project data

Field campaigns, topography and bathymetry, sensors, cameras or drones, and ecological variables

Project information

Location, objective, time horizon, analysis scenario, ecosystem or infrastructure type and risk level

Collaborators

Our past and current collaborators and supporters

We work alongside international development agencies, universities and coastal conservation programs. Each partnership brings together science, field data and local knowledge so adaptation solutions reach the ground.
