Stop wrestling with jargon. Ask a question about climate risk for any place or asset and get a clear, sourced answer—fast.

What is our Climate Risk Map?

Aldabra's Climate Risk Map is the location-specific interface inside the Aldabra dashboard. You select a location on the map just like you would in Google Maps and the interface returns a concise summary, a hazard details table, and future projections (when available). Every answer includes sources and assumptions so you can trust what you’re seeing.

How to use it (3 minutes)

Go to aldabra.earth
Sign in with your email or Google account.
Select your location
Either enter an address or coordinates in the location bar (upper left), or navigate within the map to manually select a location. Click once on your desired location to select it. The circle button on the middle left of the screen will geolocate to your location.
Select your industry
Select your desired industry category for analysis in the bottom right. For marine and freshwater analysis, type in and select your desired fish species.

Note: For the moment, Aldabra only has species-specificity for fish. We are currently working on adding both more verticals and more species types (e.g. wheat or pine trees). If you have any specific requests for buildout priority, please let us know.
Run analysis
Expect 1-2 minutes for results to be returned.
Review results
You’ll see a general summary, hazard details, and an overall risk score
Review evidence and data provenance
Select Evidence and Provenance underneath the results to dive deeper into some of the calculations and results that went into the overall risk score.
Optional: Save location
Toggle the flag next to the Analysis Results header to save your location for ease of future reference. Aldabra will not save your location search history unless you select this function, and we never save the type of analysis you run or your results.
Start over
Select a new location by clicking on the map or typing in a new location in the search bar, and restart a new analysis from scratch.

What you’ll see in the answers

Primary risk factor
Our model runs all of the relevant climate models and determines the most important risk factor, which is returned in the main view analysis.
Risk score
An overall qualitative score (low, medium, or high) will be shown, representing our best judgement about the climate risk determined by all of the relevant factors.
Top signals
The relevant risk factors, as determined by our models, that were analyzed will be shown at the top in the Evidence and Provenance. The specific numbers that the model returned will be shown in the boxes underneath, so you can go deep on our evidence and assumptions.

FAQ

Does the chat remember my previous question?

Each question is analyzed fresh during Beta. You can save locations to your account, but Aldabra never saves previous analysis or industry search requests to protect your privacy.

Can I analyze different industry verticals beyond what I see now?

Soon! Our engineering team is hard at work adding more industries. We will periodically update our beta version as we continue to expand our analysis capacities.

Do I need coordinates?

No—an address or place name works. Coordinates simply reduce ambiguity.

Can I choose climate scenarios?

Not yet. Future projections and time horizons are in the pipeline, and will be released soon.

Where do the numbers come from?

From well-known climate and hazard datasets. Each answer lists the sources and methods used. Aldabra aggregates trusted and data sources and models to run complicated dependency scenarios and provide a complete risk score.

Why is my analysis return showing a lot of zeros?

In some cases, there is insufficient data available for the industry-location match. Aldabra is currently working on augmenting our data sources. Try a new location or industry match to test, and reach out with any problems.

Can I export this as a PDF?

Soon! We are working on developing this feature, and it will be available shortly. The button in the beta version is there as a placeholder, and will not function for the moment.

Ready to try it?

Open aldabra.earth in your preferred browser, paste a location, and select an industry and species (where applicable). You’ll get an explainable, sourced answer you can share with your team.
