A new WebGIS observatory platform is presented, tailored for risk assessment and emergency preparation and response in coastal areas. The tool combines a sophisticated forecast modeling system for multi-scale analysis of ...

Nesta comunicação, apresenta-se o sistema de informação PROPAGA-SIG, que está em desenvolvimento no LNEC com o objectivo de automatizar rotinas de comunicação entre o ambiente de Sistema de Informação Geográfica e os ...

We propose a novel methodology for an automated coastline runup detection from high-resolution remote camera images. As part of a multi-source integrated flood risk assessment platform, this methodology will further ...

Apresenta-se a estrutura e a interface de uma base de dados para os estuários Europeus, desenvolvida no âmbito de um projecto para a Agência Europeia do Ambiente (AEA). A base de dados foi desenvolvida, numa fase inicial, ...

Natural or induced floods are of increasing concern to water managers and civil protection services for three main reasons. Firstly, a continuous and unconscious increase of social pressure in the flooding valleys amplifies ...

Hydrodynamics and water renewal of intermittent coastal streams are highly variable, at various time scales, due to the very active morphodynamic behavior of their inlets. Due to this strong dynamics, the pathways of ...

The coastal zone of mainland Portugal is characterized by its morpho-sedimentary diversity such as estuaries, lagoons, barrier islands, beaches, dunes and cliffs. The high population density and the multiplicity of ...

Robust and accurate coastal forecasts require models to represent the relevant processes, prediction computa-tional tools and reliable computational resources. OPENCoastS is a free, open-source WebGIS platform to develop ...
