OpenEarth is open source standardization web services visualization

OpenEarth uses open source tools for kickstarting your tailor-made data management solution. This will help you in storing, sharing and providing information of valuable data, such as observations, geographic data, and model results

Data is essential

The most valuable part of every data intensive project is data. Data gathering often requires a substantial part of the budget of a project. Centralized, discoverable and easy to access to data that can be easily reused in other projects is of vital importance for current and future work.

Data management checklist!

Do you recognize yourself in the following statements?

  • Do you use standardized formats?
  • Can you download your data online?
  • Can you show maps of your data online?
  • Can others find your datasets?
  • Do you validate your data?
  • Do you keep your raw data?
  • Is your data processing automated?
  • Do you keep track of issues (lineage)?
  • Do you have a data model?

OpenEarth greatly improves data management

OpenEarth consists of Open Source tools to transform and store your data in a standardized format. This enables you to easily:

  • Show the data in online viewers
  • Help others find your data in online catalogues
  • Share the data through an online download
  • Store the changes in the data (version control)

LHM Groundwater toolbox

The LHM Groundwater toolbox is a Proof Of Concept setup for Rijkswaterstaat. It enables users to carry out a measure and perform a calculation with a stationary model (iMODFLOW) of the LHM (Dutch Hydrological Model). A password is required because it is still in concept phase.

Safer schools

Mozambique is a country threatened by several natural hazards, the most frequent of which are droughts, floods and tropical cyclones. Irregular and limited rainfall results in water scarcity. Floods and cyclones are recurrent hazards that severely impact infrastructure, services and the economy. Mozambique is also at risk of earthquakes due to its location at the intersection of the African Nubian plate on the west and the African Somalia plate on the east, at the southern end of the East African Rift, which is the source of many major African earthquakes. In this viewer the hazards, with their impacts and exposure of the school buildings in Mozambique are visualized.

Sandmotor Viewer

Sandmotor Viewer

The SandMotorViewer is a web viewer built for TU Delft, following a request from the University of visualizing data collected in and around the SandMotor since its birth in 2011. Data is stored as NetCDF in an OPeNDAP server. Bathymetric data, sediment grainsize distribution, aeolian Transport, drifters path can be visualized via the Web interface, allowing the user to change time span and generate graphs of requested variables.

Nutrienten aanpak Maas

Despite the continuing reduction of emissions from point and diffuse sources, the desired water quality is not (yet) being met at several locations. To achieve an effective further improvement of the quality, a clearer coordination between the water quality objectives and the emission reduction required to achieve them is desirable: the so-called emission-imission approach. The imission test has been developed as a tool for this purpose. The application is set up in accordance with the stepped approach set up in the Immission Test Handbook (October 2019).
