Indian Ocean Disaster GIS resources

For those interested in biophysical ocean sciences and recovery efforts of the Indian Ocean Region take a look at the following web pages:


  • ESRI: This page offers a collection of links to map and data resources relevant to the recent earthquake, tsunami, and disaster recovery efforts in the Indian Ocean region. http://esri.com/news/pressroom/indian_ocean_disaster.html
  • ESEAS: Has been contacted by several organisations that are interested in data from our tide gauges though European seas. Even though our tide gauges are not tailor-made for tsunami warnings or even detection, our data can be used in the global analysis. We hope ESEAS Observing Site data will contribute to the scientific development and improve the warning systems for extreme events like tsunamis. We have collected the following ESEAS Observing Site information and data from the period between December 25th 2004 and January 1st 2005. http://eseas.org/tsunami/.
  • NASA's Earth Observatory: Satellite images and links to other NASA data. http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov

I hope you can CONTRIBUTE WITH COMMENTS to improve this spatial data list for the scientific and relief community. Regards,

Jorge Brenner
