The C2R-CD project is employing a modelling approach
to achieve two of its goals; (i)generating flood risk and land use/land cover
maps and, (ii) project sea level rise and storm surges After carefully
identifying the study areas based on agreed criteria by all the work packages, long-term
data series is being generated based on internationally accepted protocols for
analysis.
The biophysical environment within these study areas
is being classified into low-lying areas that are vulnerable to flooding using
topographic maps and stereo pair imageries obtained from flying a
scientifically programmed aerial acquisition drone (for photographs).
Coastal erosion rates are being modelled using the
Digital Shoreline Analysis System as well as generating digital elevation maps
for the study areas.
Meteorological data on rainfall, relative humidity,
and temperature are being analysed to determine climate variability and how it
relates to flooding.
Satellite imageries and ground-truthing data are being
analysed to monitor land cover and land use changes in the study areas.
Stay tuned for some revealing outcomes that will
impact our lives.
