Rising seas, sinking cities: can geodata save our coasts?


Listen Later

🎧 Are we ready for rising seas? 🌊


Coastal communities are on the frontlines of climate change, facing rising sea levels, extreme weather, and disappearing ecosystems. But how do we make smarter, data-driven decisions to protect our shores?

In this episode of BlueTech Around the World, we explore the intersection of geodata, nature-based solutions, and financial innovation with Greg Murphy, Coastal Resilience Lead at Fugro.


🔹 In this episode:
Coastal resilience: What does it really mean, and why is it more than just reacting to disasters?
Nature-based solutions: Can mangroves, seagrass, and kelp farms replace concrete seawalls?
The power of geodata: How high-resolution mapping is transforming climate adaptation and risk prediction.
Blue finance & carbon markets: Is the rise of blue carbon a real climate solution or just another wave of greenwashing?
Future innovations: From AI-powered risk models to marine carbon removal—what’s next for coastal resilience?

 

💡 The key question: Will we invest in resilience today, or pay for disaster recovery tomorrow?
