OCEANIDS: Utilizing Copernicus Satellite Imagery Open Data Infrastructures for User-driven Applications and Tools for Climate-Informed Maritime Spatial Planning and Integrated Seascape Management, towards a Resilient & Inclusive Blue Economy
Abstract
The OCEANIDS project aims to support coastal regions in transitioning to a more resilient Blue Economy through a single-access platform for Climate-Informed Maritime Spatial Planning. It will collect and harmonize climate data, fuse it with Earth Observation data using advanced AI methods, and develop a holistic hazard and risk assessment platform. This platform will quantify risks accurately, improve infrastructure safety, and provide actionable metrics for regional planning. Additionally, OCEANIDS will implement a Decision Support Platform using the Digital Twin Earth model to offer reliable recommendations on climate change impacts and facilitate multi-scale planning efforts.

OCEANIDS: Utilizing Copernicus Satellite Imagery Open Data Infrastructures for User-driven Applications and Tools for Climate-Informed Maritime Spatial Planning and Integrated Seascape Management, towards a Resilient & Inclusive Blue Economy Project funded from the EU HE research and innovation program under GA No. 101112919 Website V. Charalampopoulou,a I.Marinoua, P. Kolokoussisa, C. Kontopoulosa GEOSYSTEMS HELLAS S.A. Horizon project OCEANIDS aims at building userdriven applications and tools, which act as an enabling technological layer for regional authorities and stakeholders in order to achieve a more resilient and inclusive systemic pathway to a Blue Economy in coastal regions. Under a single-access window platform for Climate-Informed Maritime Spatial Planning, the project will allow a more integrated seascape management of coastal regions. 2 Introduction 1 Collect, Harmonize and Curate existing climate data services, making data accessible, reusable and interoperable for the development of local adaptation strategies. A holistic hazard & risk assessment platform will be elaborated, assimilating data from all available sources in OCEANIDS, including asset exposure datasets, population statistics, long-term hazard simulations, short-term hazard forecasting, vulnerability information (both historical and simulation based) as well as impact assessment data from past and forecasted events. 3 OCEANIDS Decision Support Platform will be implemented to give reliable recommendations to the end-users regarding spatiotemporal changes and the impact of climate change on the environment. The Digital Twin Earth model will be used and be able to monitor Climate Change, perform simulations of Earth’s interconnected system and human behavior, and help support environmental policies. This high-level front-end platform will be providing the end-users with an assessment of hazards in their respective region and leading to subsequent multi-scale planning. 4 REFERENCES Methods This approach is the basis for accurately quantifying the risk over a region, allowing the improvement and optimization of the safety of the complex infrastructures related to their operation processes and their inside and outside interactions, while offering actionable metrics for regional planning, insurance, and natural catastrophe prevention/mitigation. Oceanids Decision Support Platform The modelling framework for assessing the magnitude of impacts will ensure accurate propagation of aleatory and epistemic uncertainties from all pertinent sources, e.g., data, methods, models, and parameters, all the way to the final quantification of risk.
