LandSAGE

LandSAGE is a decision support tool for monitoring and mitigation of natural disasters (landslides, mudflows, and floods) in Southeastern Asia using Cyber-enabled Collaboration, Analysis, Navigation and Observation Environments (CyberCANOEs).

I worked as lead developer of the LandSAGE application for my first year as a research assistant at LAVA. During this time, I integrated real-time and historic hydrological and meteorological data pertaining to landslides and floods in Southeastern Asia into a geospatial visualization application developed for SAGE2. The sources of data leveraged in this application came from the following sources.

• The Cambodia Department of Meteorology website providing live weather data from 35 sensors across Cambodia.
• The Thai Meteorological Department website providing live weather data and monthly cumulative rainfall data at 120 sensor sites across Thailand
• The Mekong River Commission website providing data from 60 river height and rainfall sensors distributed throughout the Mekong river basin in SEA.

The sensor data is displayed on an interactive basemap that can be clicked to view in-depth information about locations covered by the respective sensor networks. This application is developed as a native SAGE2 application, making use of HTML/CSS/Javascript and the Leaflet.js plotting library.
