Topobathymetric DEM, shoreline change detection, coastal flood modeling, coral habitat mapping, and storm-surge inundation — automated for ports, harbors, and coastal-resilience teams.
Coastal datasets are messy: topobathy LiDAR seams, shifting tidal datums, and AIS streams. Most teams stitch tools together and re-stitch every project.
Topobathy seams between aerial and bathymetric returns
Tidal datum conversion done manually each project
AIS vessel tracks not integrated with coastal infrastructure
Storm-surge runs require model expertise teams don't have
Ten workflows aimed at coastal engineering, port operations, and coastal-resilience planning.
| Workflow | Name & what it automates | Time saved |
|---|---|---|
| #255 | Topobathymetric DEM Seamless topo + bathy DEM with tidal-datum-aware interpolation | — |
| #256 | Shoreline Change Detection Multi-year MHW shoreline extraction + change-rate transect analysis | — |
| #257 | Coastal Flood Modeling Storm-surge + SLR inundation modeling with per-asset flood depth | — |
| #258 | Coral Habitat Mapping Multispectral classification of reef habitats from satellite imagery | — |
| #259 | Storm Surge Inundation SLOSH grid + custom-track inundation model with affected-asset list | — |
| #260 | AIS Vessel Track Aggregation AIS stream ingest with port traffic dwell-time and route metrics | — |
| #262 | Beach Erosion Volume Pre/post storm volume change from sequential topobathy LiDAR | — |
| #294 | Sea Level Rise Impact NOAA SLR scenario inundation with per-asset impact accounting | — |
Modeled on a port authority running biennial topobathy surveys, weekly AIS analytics, and storm-season surge runs.
| Metric | Manual / current tooling | GeoDataConverter |
|---|---|---|
| Topobathy survey processing | Weeks | Days |
| Storm-surge run setup | Modeler-dependent | Self-service |
| AIS analytics latency | Weekly batch | Streaming |
| Annual coastal GIS labor | $310,000 | $48,000 |
Workflow #255 produces a single topobathymetric DEM with proper tidal-datum harmonization (MHW, MLLW, NAVD88) and seam-region interpolation. The result feeds storm-surge, shoreline-change, and erosion-volume workflows directly, so the underlying surface is consistent across every coastal product you ship.
Send one tidal flat or harbor with topobathy LiDAR. We'll return a topobathy DEM, a shoreline-change run, and a storm-surge scenario.
