Project Overview
LandSAGE4 builds on three earlier LandSAGE projects to create a smart, collaborative decision support platform aimed at mitigating landslides, mudflows, and floods in Southeast Asia. Leveraging cyber-infrastructure such as CyberCANOE and the new SAGE3 platform, the project enhances regional capacity in disaster monitoring and data visualization.
Project Objectives
Main Objective: To strengthen Southeast Asia's capacity in natural disaster monitoring and mitigation through enhanced data visualization, collaborative tools, and training using LandSAGE software and CyberCANOE systems.
Sub-objectives:
- Enhance the LandSAGE software (usability, intelligence, scope)
- Deploy CyberCANOEs at new partner sites
- Promote cross-border training and research collaboration
- Integrate simulation, real-time analytics, and decision support systems
