OCEANIDS stands for creating tools and applications driven by users. These tools focus on Climate-Informed Maritime Spatial Planning and integrated seascape management, all aiming to contribute to a resilient and inclusive Blue Economy.
The overall project objective is to develop the tools and applications that enable a more resilient and inclusive society in coastal regions via better-informed and integrated seascape management.
The central concept is to collect, harmonize, and curate existing climate data services, making data accessible, reusable, and interoperable for developing local adaptation strategies.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
SO #1
Improve access to existing data and services via applications related to CC-induced impacts on the coastal region
SO #2
Create beyond State-of-the-Art re-usable information tools tailored to users’ needs
SO #3
Novel climate services, fully integrated in operational EU infrastructure, to be further used by the Mission
SO #4
Providing a data-exchange framework that will allow efficient flow and validation of data from both local and central sources
SO #5
Demonstrate the OCEANIDS tools and application by 12 end users in 7 EU different regions, ensuring vulnerable and challenged regions are represented
Scientific & Technological Objectives
STO-1
Identify all key stakeholders related to the final tools and applications of OCEANIDS
STO-2
Perform an in-depth gap analysis in the root causes of poor data consumption and applications uptake by regional stakeholders
STO-3
Social innovation – Develop a citizen engagement framework allowing multi participatory and co-creation towards a more inclusive society
STO-4
Identify the use of New Earth observation (EO) data services requirements & specifications
STO-5
Climatic models, forecasting & Meteorological models curation & quantitative environmental impact assessment in coastal regions
STO-6
Develop a platform for assessing the impacts and risks of climate change on key community systems, as highlighted in the Mission Implementation Plan, including multi-hazard assessment
STO-7
Develop an integrated EO and spatial data platform (single-access window) for CC-related data and services for regional stakeholders
STO-8
Develop a DSS towards enabling CI-MSP in coastal regions
STO-9
Deploy the OCEANIDS tools, modules, applications, and platforms on operational infrastructure in a modular, re-usable and user-friendly way
STO-10
Ensure project results replication in other regions, dissemination of result to a wide audience and sustainability of the approach in real-life conditions
STO-11
Liaising with other EU projects & initiatives & lessons learned
