Test the future before you build it.
Physics-aware coastal simulation — XBeach, GraphCast, and ensemble methods — for evaluating environmental and infrastructure scenarios before deployment. Without supercomputing.
Coastal infrastructure
Model the consequences of new ports, breakwaters, seawalls, or causeways before construction. Quantify sediment, wave, and ecosystem impact.
Land reclamation
Simulate proposed reclamation footprints. Track sediment plume distribution, downstream mangrove sediment loading, and 10-year reef cover projections.
Erosion mitigation
Test geotube placements, beach nourishment volumes, and seawall configurations. Measure coastline stability gains under multiple climate scenarios.
Mangrove restoration
Optimize where to replant for maximum wave attenuation and sediment capture. Quantify carbon sequestration and ecosystem service value.
Reef protection
Compare strategies: artificial reefs, MPA expansion, water quality interventions. Forecast coral cover trajectories with and without action.
Flood adaptation
Layer setback policies, drainage infrastructure, raised foundations. Model inundation reduction across 1-in-10, 1-in-50, 1-in-100 year events.
Climate event impacts
Project Cat-3 to Cat-5 cyclones onto your coastline. Quantify surge height, duration, asset exposure, and recovery time.
Sea level rise
Combine IPCC AR6 trajectories with local subsidence and tide cycles. Project inundation, salinity intrusion, and shoreline retreat over 30 years.
Methodology
Physics-grade. Without the supercomputer.
Ipnops couples XBeach (Deltares) and GraphCast (DeepMind) with surrogate models trained on full-physics simulations. The result: ensemble runs in minutes, not weeks — with quantified uncertainty and traceable provenance.
