LaMMA

LaMMA aggregates and harmonizes geospatial datasets, including over 200 weather forecast layers, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Land Cover Change Flows, landslides data, and Natural Risk Zones, to support environmental, meteorological, and disaster-risk analyses.


Key Features:

  • Extensive Data Collection: Hosts a database comprising over 200 weather forecast layers and geospatial datasets such as NDVI, Land Cover Change Flows, landslides data, and Natural Risk Zones.
  • Continuous Updating: All datasets are subject to continuous updates to maintain current information.
  • Dataset Harmonization: Harmonizes various spatial datasets previously accessible through the LaMMA geoportal into a unified dataset collection.
  • Licensing for Reuse: Provides specific dataset licenses enabling technical and legal reuse while respecting intellectual property rights.

Scientific Applications:

  • Environmental Monitoring: NDVI and Land Cover Change Flows support monitoring of vegetation health and land-use changes over time.
  • Disaster Management: Landslides data and Natural Risk Zones support risk assessment and disaster preparedness activities.
  • Meteorological Studies: The comprehensive weather forecast layers support climate studies and improvements to forecasting models.

Methodology:

Harmonizes and integrates spatial datasets from the LaMMA geoportal, maintains a continuous updating mechanism, and associates datasets with specific license metadata to enable technical and legal reuse.
