The birth and life of the IFRC Maprooms

If floods relate to unusual rainfall, does this map tell where rainfall is unusual? No! Need for historical context: Compare current 6-day forecast with historical 30-year average same 6-day period Need for a new dataset

The birth and life of the IFRC Maprooms

New relevant information identified: seasonal forecast and context (historical, socio-economics)

The birth and life of the IFRC Maprooms New relevant information identified: seasonal forecast and context (historical, socio- economics)

The birth and life of the IFRC Maprooms

More Maprooms

Training Tool Summer Institute for professionals of climate and health in Lamont – reproduced locally in Andean countries, Mercosur countries, Ethiopia, Madagascar. Training on the Fire Maprooms in Indonesia Columbia University classes Etc. Let trainee think the abstract of data manipulation and focus on actual scientific analysis therefore helping the uptake of IRI science behind the generated knowledge

New Challenges and Vision A community of Data Library Developers Worldwide who address data issues, tool development, etc. Stronger semantic framework to allow more automatic analyses Better management of provenance of any analysis and graphics for accurate referencing Introduce parallel computation to improve efficiency Solid work done to disseminate public health information: pursue the same for Agriculture, Water Management, etc.
