Climate-Adapt4EOSC Services
Four climate adaptation services are being developed as part of the Climate-Adapt4EOSC project to support access to climate data, tools, and knowledge for evidence-based adaptation planning and decision-making
OPENHIDRA integrates two existing LNEC platforms, OPENCoastS and HIDRALERTA -to deliver a free, EOSC-based service for climate adaptation in coastal and port areas. It provides real-time alerts and on-demand forecasts that help port authorities and coastal managers anticipate coastal flooding, wave overtopping, sea-level rise, navigation safety and port operational disruption, in both planning and early-warning modes. By linking environmental data with predictive coastal models, OPENHIDRA supports smarter, localized climate-adaptation strategies.
3SES – Shrink-Swell from Space2Earth Service
3SES is a mapping and risk assessment tool addressing clay soil shrink-swell phenomena, which increasingly threaten buildings and infrastructure due to climate variability. The service allows users—citizens, professionals, institutions—to assess their exposure through static and dynamic risk maps. A free version is available to the general public, while a more detailed, chargeable version targets professionals. 3SES promotes early risk mitigation and cost-effective renovation or construction strategies, especially in vulnerable urban and peri-urban areas.
BDAnalytics
BDAnalytics is an AI-powered analytical service designed to process large volumes of climate-related data efficiently. It leverages a novel self-supervised machine learning model requiring minimal labelled datasets. The service supports multiple tasks—including classification, detection, segmentation and forecasting—tailored to user-defined use cases such as urban heat risk, soil vulnerability, or coastal changes. It offers up to 90% reduction in computational resources compared to state-of-the-art approaches, while increasing accuracy and usability of the outputs for researchers and policymakers.
Just-CURS is a digital twin service that enhances urban climate resilience with a strong citizen science component. It combines high-resolution environmental models, socio-economic data, and citizen feedback to simulate local climate impacts. The service supports “what-if” scenario analysis (e.g. impact of nature-based solutions), urban heat island mapping, and infrastructure stress assessments. It is designed for municipalities and local actors to co-design equitable and informed adaptation pathways, particularly in socially vulnerable areas.
