Visualizing complex risks for informed action

The links between environmental change, climate stress, conflict and the vulnerability of populations are complex, and access to data on these subjects is not straightforward. The result of a collaboration between Earth Blox, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the University of Edinburgh, Strata brings together data from a variety of sources to see and locate 'hotspots' - those areas most at risk.

Monitoring cyclonic impacts in the Indian Ocean

Cimopolée is an interactive web mapping service for monitoring the impact of cyclones in the south-west Indian Ocean. Clear and intuitive, the tool displays the presence and trajectory of a cyclone in the OI zone in real time and provides more comprehensive information on the major cyclones of the last ten years. The data and associated background information can be downloaded for more detailed analysis using GIS or statistical software.

Monitoring tropical deforestation

The Tropisco platform provides a near-real-time view of tropical deforestation from 2018 to the present day. Its maps of forest cover loss are updated every 6 to 12 days using radar images from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite.

Aiming for global coverage, Tropisco currently monitors the forests of 7 countries (French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, Gabon, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia), which were used to develop the tool.

Hydrometeorological monitoring and forecasting

Operational in French Guiana since June 2023, the SAGUI platform offers a hydrological forecasting service based on space altimetry data to monitor river conditions in real time and help with navigability.

In this interface, the fruit of the OpHySE project, the results are displayed on a global map with a coloured representation of the state of the rivers (flows and flow anomalies - i.e. deviations from normal), and several navigation tabs provide differentiated views of the hydro-meteorological indicators flow, rain and air quality.

Managing hydrometeorological crises in real time

Developed in the Republic of Haiti, the GadeLapli system can be used anywhere in the world. Fed in real time with data from the COSPARIN programme, the 2D/3D platform displays rainfall estimates by analyzing satellite images and potentially flood-prone areas. Real-time support for the civil protection authorities, with the system complemented by the sending of e-mail or SMS alerts and indicators for monitoring the development of extreme hydrometeorological events.

Climate and environmental monitoring for early health warnings 

As many diseases are strongly linked to their environment, monitoring environmental and climatic dynamics can help predict their dynamics in space and time.

ClimHealth, an online early warning system, is a generic interface that can be adapted to any location, making it possible to visualize possible links between temporal and spatial epidemiological dynamics and those of rainfall, temperature or environmental indicators (such as water, vegetation or humidity indicators).

🟢 Free access. The codes for the application and the Sen2Chain processing chain are open source.

Developed for a single disease, leptospirosis in Yangon (Myanmar), the first demonstrator LeptoYangon can also be viewed online.
