Coastal Resilience and Surge Modeling

● Established baseline mangrove and vegetative health
● Comparison using archive imagery and tasked WorldView
● Mangrove and habitat loss has direct influence on coastal resilience to storms
● Mangroves are the key wave dissipative measures on many small island economies and during bad storms or hurricanes they suffer severe and often fatal damage and do not recover without human intervention.
● Mangrove mapping through multiple months and years provides a health index for each mangrove crown or stand.
● Targeted regeneration programs helps maintain storm and flood resilience as well as a tourist attraction opposed to unattractive heavy duty seawalls.

Case in Point: Grounding of Akademik Ioffe
○ Ran aground on a shoal in late August 2018○ Within secondary NW Passage Route○ No injuries and no indication of oil spill○ TCarta tasked this location but bad weather for
collection prevented collection prior to ice ○ < 2 % of U.S. Arctic waters surveyed with
MBES1

Hazard Detection and Feature Extraction Example - Bermuda
○ Shallow water reconnaissance from satellite imagery
○ Multi-modal hazard detection and feature extraction
○ Through-the-water Stereo photogrammetry techniques used for validation
○ Objects as small as <1m can be detected from WorldView, up to 25m depths
○ Natural and Manmade hazards distinguished
