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.

SEDAC’s Population estimation service 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.

LANCE – Land Atmospheric Near real-time Capability EOS LANCE WMS Floods URL: GEOSS Architecture Implementation Pilot (AIP-5) Kickoff Workshop “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.”self-registration

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: 1.User uses the SEDAC/PYXIS* data and map interface to define the contiguous areas of interest 2.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 3.User requests GIS-compatible data for each defined area 4.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 5.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 EXECUTION GEOSS Architecture Implementation Pilot (AIP-5) Kickoff Workshop
