Advanced Coastal Water Level Management using IoT, Satellite Imagery, and Machine Learning Managing coastal areas in New Zealand involves the ability to monitor and eventually predict rising sea levels, changing weather patterns, and unexpected “events” (like floods or erosion), meaning you need good information in real time. Sensors, satellite imagery, digital twins, and broader data sharing can help councils and other agencies track changes, predict risks, and act effective

New Zealand’s summers are becoming increasingly dry, and with this change comes a heightened risk of wildfires. Using open-source data offers councils and emergency teams an accessible way to monitor and mitigate wildfire risks effectively. Why Open-Source GIS Data Matters in Monitoring Wildfires Wildfires thrive on the perfect combination of weather conditions, dry vegetation, and topography. Open-source data provides a wealth of information to track these variables in real-
