Project Description


In a world grappling with the profound challenges of climate change, the enormity of rising temperatures and sea levels often leaves us feeling overwhelmed and detached from the urgent need for collective action. GeoCatch is a transformative answer to this complex dilemma, offering a dynamic solution that bridges the gap between environmental data and actionable insights.

GeoCatch, a collaborative social informatics platform, leverages authoritative datasets such as the 2021 Coastal Hazards Assessments and Sea Rise Level Data to provide real-time 3D visualizations of projected sea level rise in Christchurch's coastal area. Empowering users to manipulate emission and temperature variables, GeoCatch enables simulations of environmental impacts for varying timeframes into the future.

The platform fosters community engagement through collaborative features, including a discussion Forum, a knowledge-rich Wiki, and an Archive to catalog and counter misinformation. GeoCatch's journey forward involves integrating household emissions data and harnessing AI capabilities, ultimately propelling informed decision-making and collective action for a sustainable future.

Data Story


The data was extracted for the visual model according to: sea level values of 2020, and the forecasted values of sea levels in 2050, and then in 2100/2150. This data was a primary focus for designing the visual model.

Team DataSets

Canterbury Christchurch Data

Description of Use The DEM provided the elevation map for the 3D model. Exports were useful for Geotiff that constructed the 3D model of the christchurch landscape.

Data Set

August 2022 Interim Guidance of Sea Level (File)

Description of Use From page 15-onwards, data was used for showing the medium confidence of a sea level rise from 2022 to 2150

Data Set

Takiwa

Description of Use Used for getting forecast results for sea level rise.

Data Set

Hazard Viewer

Description of Use We took the measurements for 2020, and then took the forecasting for 2050/2100/2150 sea level measurement.

Data Set

Water and drainage source

Description of Use Used to understand the floor level map for the model; certain data points determined the elevation.
