SEAFLOOR
FROM SPACE.

NearshoreIQ maps shallow coastal waters to sub-meter vertical accuracy using satellite data — no vessels, no dive teams, no weeks-long surveys.

From beach hydrography to marina development, get actionable depth intelligence in hours, not weeks.

Who uses NearshoreIQ

BUILT FOR BOTH WORLDS

DEFENSE & INTELLIGENCE
  • Mission hydrography — beach gradient, approach depth, and bottom type for amphibious and small-boat operations, derived from unclassified satellite archives.
  • Named area assessment — rapidly characterize an AOI using existing ICESat-2 coverage. No new collection tasking required.
  • Post-event re-survey — update depth models for ports, inlets, and landing zones after storms or seismic activity, faster than any vessel can mobilize.
  • Foreign coastline intelligence — global coverage from open-source data, delivered in formats your GEOINT tools already accept.
  • Persistent change detection — track bathymetric shift at strategic locations over time, without recurring ship deployments.
COMMERCIAL & CIVIL
  • Coastal engineering — dredging design, shoreline change analysis, and inlet management at a fraction of traditional survey cost and time.
  • Port & marina development — approach channel clearance, berth depth, and vessel routing before you spend a dollar on a survey vessel mobilization.
  • Offshore energy — cable and pipeline route assessment, wind farm seabed characterization, and shallow platform approach corridors.
  • Habitat & environmental mapping — coral reef extent, seagrass delineation, and shallow marine protected area monitoring at regional scale.
  • Coastal risk & resilience — accurate nearshore DEM inputs for storm surge modeling, insurance underwriting, and climate adaptation planning.
The pipeline

HOW IT WORKS

Site nomination
Submit the location you need. Draw an area of interest, drop a pin, or share coordinates. No satellite tasking required — we work with existing orbital coverage.
NearshoreIQ runs
Our model pipeline automatically processes available satellite data for your area. No manual steps on your end — you submit and we handle everything from data pull to depth model.
Depth modeling
Satellite returns are converted into a continuous, gridded depth model accurate to sub-meter vertical resolution — validated across multiple independent sites.
Your deliverable
GeoTIFF, S-57, or GeoJSON — ready for GIS, GEOINT platforms, or engineering workflows. Hours from request to file, not weeks from mobilization to data.
