01 / Research
A commons for signals that do not arrive complete.
Maritime distress evidence is fragmented across vessels, environmental models, official feeds, civil-society reports and public observations. Seacommons studies how these sources can be fused without hiding their uncertainty or political context.
How can heterogeneous signals become timely evidence while remaining traceable, contestable and safe for vulnerable people?
Calibrated fusion
Detection baselines, missingness, source reliability and explicit uncertainty propagation.
Drift ensembles
OpenDrift trajectories evaluated against operational ocean and atmosphere forcing.
Human decisions
Interfaces that help operators act without turning estimates into false certainty.
02 / Methods
Every output should explain itself.
Analytical results expose their source, time, transformation, software version, parameters, uncertainty and known limitations.
