Meet The Team Behind RCOAST
We measure what matters and connect communities across oceans to solve it
The Team
Scientists, engineers, and community builders working across continents
Dr. Christy Swann is an internationally-recognized, award-winning Earth and Planetary scientist with 20 years of experience studying windblown sand on the beaches of Earth, from Brazil to the Netherlands and even the windy, dusty environment of Mars.
Remote sensing scientist with expertise in lidar, imagery analysis, and geomorphic change detection, now applying that experience at RCOAST to support data-driven coastal resilience.
Leads the end-to-end workflow for turning UAV lidar and imagery into high-resolution orthoimagery and point clouds, and integrating them into geospatial systems for coastal management decision-making
We are hiring! Join us in expanding our work to more coastlines.
Why we do the work we do
%201.avif)
Accessible coastal data for all communities
Communities deserve to know how we collect data and what it means. No black boxes here.
Costal collaboration across continents
A solution that works in one place teaches another. We build that network deliberately.
Coastal mitigation needs to be effective
Our coasts are changing faster than we can manage them. Mitigation solutions need to be based on real ROI data.
Join us in protecting coastline today!
Join communities worldwide using RCOAST to monitor and measure what works.
