Goal 4 Visualization and analysis of geospatial data via Google Earth Engine
Development of a tool for analysis and management of geospatial data in coastal environments such as beaches, bays or estuaries. The CASSIE tool was developed to accomplish this goal, and is under development. One of its applications is the automatic determination of the coastline and the statistical analysis of the coastline (e.g., evolutionary rates of advance or retreat). CASSIE is based on Google Earth Engine satellite images and Google’s Cloud computing system for its implementation. It can be applied to any coastal region on the planet, including bays, and therefore has the potential to become a fundamental contribution to the improvement of the management of these coastal environments.
