Project Lead: Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve coastal resilience in data-sparse locations: Caribbean region case study (AI4Coasts)

Funded by: Our Shared Oceans Project Programme Direct Funding Project Award’ supported by Irish Aid through the Marine Institute in Ireland.

Collaborators: The UWI-STA, University College Dublin
Dr. Letetia Addison, Dr. Deborah Villaroel-Lamb, and Prof. Patrick Hosein,
Dr Md Salauddin, and two (2) ML Researchers including Nidia Ali-Sookhoo

18-month project to start in June 2024

Highlights:

• Assess impacts of climate change on coastal areas (e.g. threat posed to communities and marine ecosystems by flood and storm surges).
• Leverage data-driven insights using Machine Learning
• Build an open-access data repository
