EO = Earth Observation, XBeach-VEG = vegetation module of XBeach wave propagation model, LISFLOOD = hydrological model.įigure 2. Illustration of the principles of the FAST project (linked to RISC-KIT project). In the figure below, Figure 1 , a general overview of the principles of the FAST project are illustrated. The data sources and products produced by the MI-SAFE tool are illustrated in Figure 2.įigure 1. The results can be used to assess the requirements for the design of coastal flood protection measures with and without vegetation fronting those measures they give a first estimate of the potential risk reduction that coastal vegetation has to offer with respect to specific coastal flood events on any particular shore across the world.įor background information about the viewer, the project and all the partners involved, please visit our website - MI-SAFE illustrative summary The data from these global datasets are used to query the results of a modelling exercise conducted with XBeach for a range of different types of vegetated foreshores and a range of exposure to waves and tides. The MI-SAFE viewer is thus based on global datasets made available via open spatial services and presented in the web-viewer. ![]() ![]() The MI-SAFE viewer depicts the estimated contribution of coastal vegetation to wave height attenuation for user-selected coastal locations anywhere in the world. The MI-SAFE software and webviewer are developed under the EU funded FP7 project FAST (Foreshore Assessment using Space Technology).
