Littoscope goes to scale with Corisclim
Spatial altimetry enables us to measure precisely the rise in sea levels, which is accelerating. The extent of this rise varies from place to place, and coastal communities need tools to project their future into the coming decades. As the successor to the SCO LITTOSCOPE project, CORISCLIM offers a rapid assessment of future coastal flood risks worldwide.
