Climate & biodiversity modelling

Know where your species will live in 2050

Datacartia projects the suitable habitat of a species under several climate scenarios and delivers maps and recommendations you can use directly in your studies, management plans and investment decisions.

Your challenges

The questions we answer

Climate change is moving species. Our studies help you decide before the change is forced on you.

Impact assessments and regulatory files

Add a robust "species under climate change" section to your studies, as a subcontractor.

Invasive species

Identify where a species is likely to settle, so monitoring goes where it matters.

Aquaculture and fisheries

Check that a site or a farmed species will still be viable in 20 or 30 years before you invest.

Protected area management

Locate climate refuges and prioritise the actions in your management plan.

Method

How it works

  1. 30-minute call

    Free. You describe your project, and we tell you honestly whether a study would help.

  2. Proposal within 48 hours

    Two pages: what we deliver, the timeline and the price. No surprises.

  3. Modelling

    Environmental and occurrence data, statistical and machine learning models, validation.

  4. Results

    Maps, report and a meeting so the results actually support your decision.

Track record

Completed projects

Two studies in the Baltic Sea, from our research work, published in peer-reviewed journals.

Climate-driven shift of zooplankton

Question
How will warming and lower salinity move zooplankton species in the Baltic Sea?
Result
Distribution projections per species and per climate scenario.
Publication
Limnology & Oceanography, DOI 10.1002/lno.12705

Invasion risk of the jellyfish Blackfordia virginica

Question
Where can this jellyfish, recently recorded in the Baltic, settle today and tomorrow?
Result
Maps of areas at risk of establishment, to guide monitoring.
Publication
Biological Invasions, DOI 10.1007/s10530-025-03565-w

Founder

Baptiste Serandour, founder

I hold a PhD in marine biology and a master's in oceanography from Sorbonne University, and I work as a researcher in machine learning applied to ecology.

My PhD focused on projecting the impacts of climate change on marine species: invasion probabilities and shifts in the distribution of key species. I founded Datacartia to put these methods at the service of people who have to make concrete decisions.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you need our data?

No. We use public databases of occurrences and environmental variables. Your field data, if you have any, improves the results.

Which species and which areas?

Marine, freshwater or terrestrial species, anywhere occurrence data exists. The 30-minute call is where we check feasibility.

Can you work as a subcontractor for a consultancy?

Yes, it is a common setup. We deliver a section ready to include in your report, under your name or ours.

How reliable are the projections?

Every study includes model validation and a clear explanation of uncertainty, so you know how far you can rely on the results.
