PHYGRAV Platform
Hydro-gravitational risk intelligence

Models, surrogates, and expertise for hydro-gravitational hazards

PHYGRAV delivers integrated simulations, surrogate apps, and decision-ready products for landslides, avalanches, tsunamis, and hydro-sedimentary events. The platform merges advanced physics, digital twins, and uncertainty-aware workflows for partners across research, agencies, and operators.

AI-based solutions

AI-enhanced surrogates accelerate hazard scenarios and keep decision workflows responsive while preserving physics-grounded reliability.

Scenario acceleration

Machine-learned surrogates cut runtime for landslide and tsunami chains.

ML surrogates uncertainty-aware

Decision support

AI pipelines turn simulations into alerts, dashboards, and actionable briefings.
