Coastal Risk Information Service
C-RISe supports vulnerable coastal populations from the consequences of climate variability and change
In partnership between the UK, Mozambique, Madagascar and South Africa to provide access to information on sea level, storm surge, wind speed and wave heights.
Sea level rise
Wind speed
Wave height
Study Regions
The coastal populations of Mozambique, Madagascar and South Africe are highly vulnerable to the consequences of climate variability and change.
C-RISe provide access to improved regional information on coastal risk factors to protect communities and safeguard economics activity
C-RISe extension
The C-RISe Team are planning to extend the coverage provided by the service, so that it extends north to the Gulf of Oman, and south to include the Prince Edward Island. If you are interested, come and talk to us?
C-RISe data delivery
C-RISe is a project in partnership between the UK, Mozambique, Madagascar and South Africa to provide access to information on sea level, storm surge, wind speed and wave heights.
Satellite altimetry at the coast
In-situ measurements
Data demonstration
Training Programme
One of the primary C-RISe objectives is to build local capacity in using satellite data to provide scientific decision support for strategy development, governance and management of coastal areas to increase resilience to coastal hazards.
Use Cases
Through the development of a series of example use cases, C-RISe is exploring pathways for translating scientific EO data into social and economic impact by building local capacity to use satellite observations, in the context ofcoastal development.
