The Consortium
Space for Shore
The Space for Shore project involves the full participation of nine technical partners, which are all experts in the development of coastal or land monitoring solutions from Earth Observation data and specialists of coastal erosion issues. An additional partner is enrolled to support the market analysis and service roll-out.
The geographical location of the partners and their respective networks allows covering five countries of the European Union and nine distinct coastal regions, encompassing most types of European coastlines.

Germany
Brockmann Consult GmbH (BC) is a private company offering services for the management of environmental data, in particular from Earth Observation. The company comprises two complementary branches : The Environmental Informatics Department and the Geo-Information Services Department.
Brockman Consult GmBH is part of the phases 1-4 of the Coastal Erosion Project (2019-2023).
The Institute of Oceanography (Institut für Meereskunde, IfM) at the University of Hambourg (UHH) has strongly been involved in multiple kinds of national and international co-operations. SAR remote sensing has been a research topic in the Remote Sensing Unit at UHH-IfM since the late 1980s. Fundamental research has been performed to provide a better understanding of the radar backscattering from water surfaces and to derive geophysical parameters from SAR imagery. After the SIR-C/X-SAR missions in 1994, one research focus has been put on the radar imagining of exposed intertidal flats, resulting in a number of scientific publication on the topic.
The Institute of Oceanography is part of the phases 1, 2 and 3 of the Coastal Erosion Project (2019-2022).
Greece
Taking advantage of the resoucrces, skills and experience built since 1989 that the company was establised, TERRA SPATIUM (former Spot Infoterra Hellas SA) a Greek SME company, offers advanced solutions expanding in the whole range of Geo-information for advanced markets and applications. Based on our proven capacity to provide dedicated imagery data and tailored Geoinformation products, we built-up towards the establishment of spatial knowledge management systems and user oriented geo-servcices.
Terra Spatium is part of the phases 1, 2 and 3 of the Coastal Erosion Project (2019-2022).
The Department of Geography of Haroskopio University (HUA) was establised in 1999 and focuses its activities on subjects like human and physical geography and geoinformatics. Within the Geography department, a remote sensing groupe has been built over the years and now rely on a team made of geologists, geographers and engineers who have extensive experience in scientific research, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and interferometric signal processing, active microwave remote sensing techniques, theoretical and empirical modeling, and application development.
Haroskopio University was part of the phases 1 and 2 of the Coastal Erosion Project (2019-2020).
Portugal
The Center of Environmental and Marie Studies (CESAM) is an Associated Laboratory of the University of Aveiro. CESAM’s mission is to develop leading international research on environmental sciences and related risks, including extreme weather events and climate change with a special emphasis on complex socio-ecological coastal systems and marine areas.
CESAM is part of the phases 1-4 of the Coastal Erosion Project (2019-2023).
