Geospatial Data Management

Geospatial data in geological hazard management refers to the information that is geographically referenced and used to analyze, visualize, and assess the risks associated with geological hazards, such as earthquakes, landslides, and volcanic eruptions. This data encompasses various forms of spatial information, including maps, satellite imagery, and geographic information systems (GIS), which aid in decision-making and planning for hazard mitigation and response.

Overview

Geospatial data plays a vital role in geological hazard management by providing essential information about the location and nature of hazards. This data is analyzed using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to create hazard maps, assess risks, and visualize potential impacts. Understanding how to ...
