Corps Shoaling Analysis Tool (CSAT)

Developer/Partners: USACE (2019)

Relevant Hazard/Threat(s): Shoaling

Intent: Calculates channel shoaling volumes using historical channel surveys and uses the shoaling rates to predict future dredging volumes.

CSAT provides users the ability to calculate and forecast channel shoaling volumes, thus serving as a decision support tool that can maximize the use of dredging funds and minimize disruption to vessel traffic through the navigation channels.

Inputs: Hydrographic survey of channel uploaded through e-Hydro
Outputs: Forecasted channel shoaling volumes

Use with e-Hydro; CSAT is run using a Matlab executable file and requires survey upload through eHydro for the channel; Must be used in conjunction with eHydro
