Sand Tracer is an application that delivers operational insights into dune dynamics through the fusion of high-resolution satellite imagery, LiDAR elevation data, and wind data, all processed with advanced data science and AI.
Coastal areas need to prepare for more extreme weather, such as stronger storm surges, coastal erosion and sea-level rise. By understanding these changes early, we can assess risks and take measures to be ready for the future.
At the same time, there is increasing attention on biodiversity and the need for clear insights into ecosystems and key habitats to support focused management and conservation efforts.
Sand Tracer enables large-scale, precise dune management. This strengthens coastal resilience, supports nature-based solutions and helps biodiversity recover.
Sand Tracer provides data-driven insights for decision-making in environmental management. By offering clear insights into dune dynamics, we support users in improving the design and management of coastal measures, enhancing spatial planning and strengthening communication. With a focus on transparency and accountability, Sand Tracer equips coastal and environmental managers with the tools for effective, data-driven decision-making.
We, at HKV, are a consultancy specialised in water and climate, with strong expertise in coastal dynamics, remote sensing, and AI. We believe that better data leads to better decisions. By combining technology with practical applications, we help managers and policymakers address challenges in coastal resilience, biodiversity and spatial planning.
