CCRP GIS Support Project Activities Overview • Objectives • Present update on activities and spatial data collection for • the benefit of cross pollination and • to reiterate our support offer to the Andes Region • Discuss opportunities to work together • Offer to share resources created by the GISsupport project
Overall Objectives of the CCRP GIS Support Project • Making relevant spatial data more easily accessible • Data collection + processing (suitable collections and data formats) • Improving data accessibility • Raise awareness of suitable data sets • Helping CCRP researchers to be more spatially proficient • and efficient with their research • Determine where they work (and why here and not somewhere else) • Determine for which area their research is valid • Take into account local variability of physicaland socio-economic site characteristics
Approach - How to accomplish the Overall Goals • Creating GIS tool, Data, and Resource Infrastructure • Communication • Capacity building researchers vs. GIS expert team e.g. Kenya GIS • Direct Project Support • Visualization in Desktop and Web Maps • Spatial Analysis {
Approach - How to accomplish the Overall Goals • Making data easily accessible • Improve data accessibility • Data collection + processing • Formats and suitable collections smaller areas with long time series e.g. CHIRPS data • How: creating Data Infrastructure • Capacity building • Communication + Resource Infrastructure • Project GIS exchange (Redmine Web Platform) • QGIS - Desktop templates • Tutorials – Case studies • Wiki Highlights of Desktop resources (in QGIS) • GIS Newsletter + CCRP support mailing lists • Workshops, Trainings, Conference calls, email exchanges + follow ups
Approach - How to accomplish the Overall Goals • Visualization + Analysis • Direct Project Support • Via Capacity building • Web Maps • Simple Publication • QGIS WebServer, GitHUB GeoJSON or • QGIS to Leaflet/OpenLayers export • Custom Web maps • CCRP Where We Work Map • Project location editing • QGIS Desktop maps • Spatial Analysis
Capacity building - GIS Workshops + Training • Web GIS workshopNairobi March 2015 • GIS support at RM WSOuagadougou April 2015 • GIS Work MeetingLilongwe September 2015 • Web GIS workshopNairobi Feb/March 2016 • RM WorkshopDar-Es-Salaam August 2016 • GIS Work MeetingLilongwe November 2016 • GIS Tool workshopNairobi March 2017
Data work / accessebility • Data set collection - physical to socioeconomic • OSM extraction -> web directory • Global, Regional , Country wide, Project data
GIS + Data Collection - downloadshttp://ccrpdata.terragis.net
GIS + Data Collection • Desktop templates - downloads
Data of Special Interest – Climate - Precipitation Data • CHIRPS - 5km resolution
Data of Special Interest – Soil Grids - 17 Parameters • Soil grids – 250m resolution • Used for TZ Land use suitability • Tool- Maize
GIS + Data Collection • data downloads • http://osmdata.terragis.net • Zipped data • by Country and Province
Communication + Resource Infrastructure • Project GIS exchange (Redmine Web Platform)
Communication + Resource Infrastructure Project GIS exchange • GIS news and tutorials
Resource Infrastructure- Project GIS exchange • Workshop prerequisites example Web Mapping WS Nairobi 2016
Visualization - Where we work • 120 Projects • 4 Regions • 12 Countries Examples of Projets: South African region
Other CCRP Web GIS Resources • MapServer Project Locations Editing • Africa OSM viewer
Visualization - Web maps: QGIS Desktop + Server • Publishing templates to Web GIS
Visualization - Web maps: QGIS Desktop + Server • Lizmap: QGIS-Plugin + Viewer
Desktop GIS tools • QGIS • Templates • Case Studies • R -Scripts
Approach to teach OS GIS Case studies and map templates
Location Maps - Soils • SW Kenya – Multi Purpose Legumes
Spatial Analysis • Agro-Ecological Intensification • Which villages are within 10 km of our research sites? • Thiessen Polygons
Spatial Analysis - Bambara Nut • Did recommended changes to • cultivation techniques change the yield?
Spatial Analysis - Bambara Nut • How did recommended changes to cultivation • techniques change the yield?
GIS Tools - Other Useful Open Source Software Homologue: “Where else in the world is like my plot of land?” Developed by CIAT, the International Center for Tropical Agriculture Can be used for analysis where to introduce pigeon pea or groundnut varieties based on site characteristics e.g. Best Bests project Malawi
GIS Tools - R Scripts – Site Characterization • Alternatively • Climate Analogues • Online tool • R Library
Example of site similarity analysisWhy do certain crops have lower yields in Burkina and Niger compared to southern Mali
GIS Tools - Other Useful Open Source Software GeoCLIM: designed for climatological analysis of historical rainfall and temperature data. It was developed by Tamuka Magadzire of USGS FEWS NET in support of the USAID PREPARED and Global Climate Change activities. http://earlywarning.usgs.gov/ftp2/GeoCLIM/GeoCLIMv1.1.2.msi
