Core Analytics

Shoreline Risk Proxy

Our proprietary metric analyzes 10 years of NDWI (Normalized Difference Water Index) data to identify unstable shorelines.

  • Standard deviation analysis over 346+ sites
  • Identifies erosion-prone areas
  • Correlates with bluff composition
  • Predictive accuracy: 37-44% for composition

Algae Risk Assessment

Water-type-specific models predict algae conditions using satellite imagery and historical data.

  • Rivers: Cyanobacteria prediction (R² = 0.69)
  • Lakes: Chlorophyll-a forecasting (R² = 0.48-0.61)
  • Coastal/Tidal: Water quality modeling
  • Temperature and clarity analysis
  • Real-time risk level classification
  • 5-Year Temporal Animation: Animated GIF showing algae risk evolution with time slider
  • Seasonal Video (MP4): High-quality 1-minute video showing weekly algae progression throughout the growing season (May-October)
