  1. About us: • At CIESIN we provide access to and enhance the use of information worldwide to advance: • Understanding of human interactions in the environment • Serve as an information gateway between the earth sciences and social sciences • Provide decision-makers data and tools for improved assessment capabilities • CIESIN’s major ongoing activities include: • NASA’s Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC) • Haiti Regeneration Initiative (HRI) • Africa Soil Information Services (AfSIS) • Millennium Village Project (MVP) • Sustainable Digital Data Preservation and Access Network Partners (DataNet)

  2. SEDAC: STRONG FOCUS ON GIS-BASED DATA Agriculture Climate Governance Hazards Health Land Use Marine and Coastal Population Poverty Remote Sensing Sustainability Urban Water

  3. Common Data platform for Earth, Social and Natural sciences • Multiple Data Types • Gridded data • Vector data • Point data • Features/Attributes • Focus on Integrating Climate Data with Socioeconomic and Earth Science/Remote Sensing Data • Complicated sets of: • Databases, datasets, data collections • Metadata, maps, glossaries, etc. • Other documentation

  4. Common services platform for Earth, Social and Natural sciences Full list of WMS services available at: http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/maps/services/wms

  5. SEDAC Web Mapping Client This client is based on an open source client using Open Layers and server using Geoserver. These clients can be embedded directly in SEDAC web pages and provides better performance for users compared with the previous client. Web Map Client URL: http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/maps/client

  6. SEDAC’s Population estimation service Fig Estimate of population living in proximity of Fukushima Nuclear Power Plants, Japan The Population Estimation Service is a Web Processing service(WPS) for estimating population totals and related statistics within a user-defined region. It enables users to quickly obtain estimates of number of people residing in specific areas. WPS URL: http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/gpw/wps.jsp

  7. LANCE – Land Atmospheric Near real-time Capability EOS “ESDIS provides access to near-real time products from the MODIS, OMI, AIRS, and MLS instruments in less than 2.5 hours from observation from the Land and Atmosphere Near-real time Capability for EOS (LANCE). The system supports application users who are interested in monitoring and analyzing a wide variety of natural and man-made phenomena. Data are freely available after self-registration.” LANCE WMS Floods URL: http://earthdata.nasa.gov/data/nrt-data

  11. EXECUTION Disaster Use Case Scenario: An analyst is interested in the impacts of coastal storms and sea-level rise in Central America Data of Interest: Exposed Population, Vegetation Infrastructure, Protected and Marine Resources Actions: • User uses the SEDAC/PYXIS* data and map interface to define the contiguous areas of interest • User uses guide maps such as proximity of coast, elevation, forest cover, wetlands, urban extents, road networks and protected area boundaries to define contiguous areas • User requests GIS-compatible data for each defined area • User uses these predefined areas or draws new areas to monitor potential/actual impacts in affected areas E.g. request most recent LANCE* data for land/surface change in region before and after storm • User can also draw comparisons in population densities and total populations in the AOI, taking into account distance from coast, elevation above seal-level and forest cover and calculate statistics and visualizations comparing AOI in terms of population growth rates over time, level of poverty based on Infant mortality rate, infrastructure and livelihood statistics *LANCE – Land Atmospheric Near real time Capability for EOS PYXIS WorldView* - Client integrates multiple sources of data on a hexagonal discrete global grid
