Thank you for
subscribing to receive news from the Coastal Risk Information Service (C-RISe)
project. C-RISe is funded by the UK Space Agency
(UKSA) under the International Partnership Programme.
Now entering
its second phase, the project will deliver, through an international
partnership with Mozambique, Madagascar and South Africa; access to
satellite-derived data on sea level, wind speed and wave heights. The goal is
to enable the use of this information to improve socio-economic resilience to
coastal hazards associated with sea level changes such as inundation, floods,
storm damage, wetland loss, habitat change, coastal erosion and saltwater
intrusion.
C-RISe is a
development of Sea Level Space Watch (SLSW), a project funded by the UK Space
Agency (UKSA), which delivers information on sea level trends at the UK coast,
enabled by recent advances in coastal altimetry data processing. C-RISe will
expand this service to provide additional data sets (wind and wave
climatologies), and increased temporal and spatial coverage; 24 years of
previously unavailable satellite observations, over the regional area of
Mozambique, Madagascar and South Africa.
