We are pleased to announce that the GISMO has been selected by the The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) to receive a grant to develop a pilot project as part of its Climate and Disaster Resilience Program, DP-24.
The GISMO team which includes Professor Sean Ahearn of Hunter College, and CEO Ajay Gupta of HSR.health, among others, will be addressing extreme heat events that may also be compounded by a power blackout.
We expect to model NYC in 3D using the City’s excellent enterprise GIS data, analyze the likely scale and types of heat illnesses expected, and assess mitigation and response strategies.
This follows GISMO’s work on OGC’s DP-23 initiative where we worked with Basil Labs CEO Theo Goetemann on a citizen science project involving smartphones, voice translation and digitization, AI complaint classification, and spatial analytics for large populations caught within a disaster area.
