PROJECTS
NASA Landslide Reporter (2017 - 2019)
As Landslide Citizen Science Project Coordinator at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), I instituted and lead the development of the Cooperative Open Online Landslide Repository (COOLR) project under the project manager, Dr. Dalia Kirschbaum and the NASA landslides team. COOLR is the largest global open online landslide catalog, containing data from NASA's Global Landslide Catalog (GLC), citizen scientists, and other landslide inventories.
I created and executed the vision of a landslide citizen science project, implementing COOLR's website and the supporting materials on landslides.nasa.gov, and managing and updating its component web applications, Landslide Viewer and Landslide Reporter. I worked closely with the project manager, the landslides team, NASA, citizen scientists, and numerous commercial and research-oriented stakeholders to improve and expand the system. Additionally, I independently organized outreach through written and graphic publications, presentations, and social media campaigns. With the landslides team, I authored a paper describing the system's methods and initial results, published in PLOS ONE.
Skills used:
HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Adobe Illustrator, Shotcut, Esri ArcMap and Web App Builder, branding, writing, research, science communication and presentation, outreach
Time Taken:
1.5 years
