The IGUIDE Forum 2024 marks a significant gathering for the Geographic community held jointly this year in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, from October 14-16, 2024.
Debayan Mandal presented two research pieces at the forum:
Strengthening Resilience in 4D: Geospatial Digital Twins for Navigating Urban Flood Dynamics
Authors: Debayan Mandal, Rohan Singh Wilkho, Abhinav Wadhwa, and Lei Zou
Format: Oral and Poster
Summary: The Galveston - Digital Twin has been developed by integrating topography, hydrology, and urban infrastructure at a very fine spatial level. It has been validated against historical data using web scrapers and social sensing analysis. He has effectively demonstrated the GDT’s utility, focusing on its application in disaster management through 'what-if' scenarios and real-time urban resilience decision support systems using radar data.
PRIME: A CyberGIS Platform for Resilience Inference Measurement and Enhancement
Authors: Debayan Mandal, Lei Zou, Rohan Singh Wilkho
Format: Poster
Summary: The CyberGIS platform (PRIME) facilitates spatiotemporal disaster resilience assessment at a county level and is empirically validated; is reproducible ensuring accessibility; is customizable for various case studies, and can identify the causal relationships between socio-economic characteristics and disaster resilience scores.
Overall, the IGUIDE Forum provided an excellent platform for our team to share these pioneering research efforts and engage with the broader GIScience community, fostering collaboration and innovation in resilience and urban planning.
Congratulations! We look forward to hearing more achievements from GEAR Lab! Gig'em!
