Geosapiens Launches Its Global Coastal Flood Model

A new generation of high-resolution coastal flood intelligence, delivering globally consistent and decision-ready insights for a changing climate.

Today, Geosapiens is proud to introduce the Global Coastal Flood Model—an advanced solution designed to help organizations understand, quantify, and manage coastal flood risk with greater clarity.

Developed at 30-metre spatial resolution, the model provides globally consistent flood-depth and inundation mapping across coastal regions. It gives decision-makers a detailed view of where flooding may occur, how deeply locations may be affected, and how risk varies across different return periods.

Unlike approaches based primarily on simplified elevation thresholds, the Global Coastal Flood Model applies physics-informed water propagation to provide a more refined representation of how coastal flooding moves across the landscape. This enables a more realistic assessment of flood extent and depth while maintaining the consistency and scalability required for global applications.

The result is a scientifically robust and operationally practical dataset for insurers, financial institutions, infrastructure owners, governments, engineering firms, and resilience planners.

With the Global Coastal Flood Model, organizations can:

• Screen assets and portfolios for coastal flood exposure

• Identify emerging risk hotspots

• Support adaptation and resilience planning

• Strengthen underwriting and risk-management decisions

• Integrate coastal flooding into multi-hazard and property-level analytics

This launch reflects Geosapiens’ mission to transform advanced climate science into practical, actionable risk intelligence. By combining high spatial resolution, global coverage, and decision-ready outputs, the model helps organizations move beyond general awareness toward informed and measurable action.

As climate risk becomes an increasingly important strategic consideration across industries, access to credible, scalable, and transparent coastal flood information is essential.

The Geosapiens Global Coastal Flood Model is built to meet that need—bringing scientific rigour and global consistency to the decisions shaping a more resilient future.
