What you can do with it

Typical work that data of this type supports.

  1. 01

    Sea-level planning

    Plan for sea-level rise and storm surge.

    Because it has: sea level

  2. 02

    Saline intrusion

    Track salt moving into rivers and aquifers.

  3. 03

    Design flows

    Estimate 1-in-50 and 1-in-100 year floods for bridges, culverts and spillways.

    Because it has: tide gauge

Where AI adds value

Ideas for machine learning and AI agents built on this kind of data.
