Vaguel analyzes satellite imagery to track shoreline evolution, turbidity, and coastal risk — then generates a full report. Municipalities, engineers, and coastal managers: no Python required.
Five modules working together to give coastal professionals a complete picture — not a collection of disconnected data points.
Historical shoreline positions extracted from satellite imagery. View change over years, identify erosion and accretion hotspots, and see transect measurements with annual rates.
Surface turbidity patterns and sediment plume detection. Track water quality events, sediment transport corridors, and pollution signals across the coastal zone.
Estimated shallow-water depth from optical imagery. Disclaimer included — for environmental assessment, not navigation.
Composite coastal risk score built from erosion rate, exposure, and water quality indicators. Confidence score tells you how much to trust the data.
Executive summary, maps, transect tables, turbidity analysis, and confidence caveats — ready to print or share. Every data point labeled with source and reliability.
Modular design means each module — shoreline, turbidity, bathymetry — is independently swappable. Ready for Sentinel-2, Landsat, Copernicus Marine, and Google Earth Engine integration.
Analysis starts in the Golfe du Lion — a well-documented stretch of Mediterranean coast with active erosion, varying substrates, and strong institutional interest.
Vaguel combines satellite-derived shoreline (SDS) detection with confidence scoring to give you results you can actually trust.
Draw a polygon on the map or choose a pilot site. Set your analysis period — annual, seasonal, or event-based.
Choose which analyses to run: shoreline evolution, turbidity, bathymetry, risk scoring — all, or just the ones you need.
Every data point comes with a confidence indicator. Higher quality imagery and more images mean higher confidence.
Full executive report with maps, transects, caveats, and confidence badges — formatted for print and PDF export.
Your results are only as good as the data quality. Every analysis score reflects:
Vaguel never hides the uncertainty. Every layer displays its confidence score. Every report includes methodological caveats. Bathymetry is labeled indicative, not navigational. Shoreline comparisons note sensitivity to tide, waves, and cloud cover.
We don't pretend mock data is real — labels are clear, methods are documented, and every number comes with its reliability context.
Erosion rates of 1–2 m per year are documented at multiple sites. Mistral and Tramontane winds reshape beaches seasonally. Sea-level rise is accelerating Mediterranean storm impact. The data exists — in satellite archives, in institutional databases, in scientific literature. Vaguel makes it accessible, visual, and actionable.
The MVP is built on mock data. The architecture is built for the real thing.
