The purpose of the developed platform (https://reactive.infp.ro) is to help people understand, monitor, and respond to events such as storms, earthquakes, and climate change. By collecting real-time data from sensors placed in various locations, an interactive and intuitive map has been created to display detected events. By aggregating complex data into a simplified and unified format, the platform enables users and researchers to track and study these events more efficiently.
To manage the dynamic nature of real-time collected data, integration strategies have been developed to continuously retrieve data from sensors, process it, and prepare it for visualization on the map. As a result, the delay between the recording of an event and its display on the map is almost nonexistent.
Each type of event monitored by the sensors (e.g., storms or earthquakes) is represented as a separate layer on the map. Users can choose to track events from a single layer (e.g., only storms) or view events from all available layers simultaneously.
To facilitate the visualization of events in a specific area of interest for the user, the platform allows filtering and displaying events that have occurred in a particular county, highlighted on
Another way to visualize events is by using a heatmap that reflects the density of events of a specific type. This visual representation highlights regions with the highest concentration of events, providing an overview. Users can quickly identify areas where the most events occur, which can be useful for both monitoring and making quick decisions in critical situations.
Rezultate preliminare REACTIVE
The Research Center for Climate Change due to Natural Disasters and Extreme Weather Events (REACTIVE) was established in response to the effects of global warming. It provides analyses, forecasts, and reports for assessing natural and anthropogenic hazards, quantifying uncertainties, and responding to hazard scenarios.
A key objective of the project is the real-time monitoring of physical parameters to assess hazards and issue early warning forecasts. In this context, essential activities have been carried out, including:
- Modernization of the extreme event monitoring network (seismic, infrasonic, GNSS, etc.).
- Analysis of infrasonic data to detect and characterize atmospheric and seismic phenomena.
- Development of storm monitoring products using existing equipment.
The monitoring network supports the observation of atmosphere-hydrosphere-lithosphere interactions in seismic, infrasonic, geodetic, and atmospheric domains, as well as the characterization of extreme phenomena such as tsunamis, storms, and sea level rise.
The modernization of the monitoring system reflects REACTIVE's commitment to addressing current climate challenges and supporting scientific advancements for the benefit of society.
