EO Unlocked: Metadata Search Engine for Earth Observation

User-centric Earth observation discovery interface built to model interoperability opportunities across commercial and civil assets through large-scale metadata synthesis. Uses space situational awareness data from Celestrak, propagated via SGP4 astrodynamics, and made searchable through spatial computation with an R-Tree index. Search and filtering GUI developed in React and ThreeJS with the use of Open-Meteo API for supplemental weather data. Sensor specifications for thousands of spacecraft mined from ESA's eoPortal, the World Meteorological Organization's Oscar tool, Nanosats EU, and Gunter's Space Page. The unstructured data was then synthesized and organized programmatically using the OpenAI API.

2022 LA County Toxic Waste Release Hazard to K-12 Educational Institutions: A Geospatial Analysis

Assessing the proximity of Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) facilities to K-12 schools in Los Angeles County, identifying significant potential exposure risks for students through the use of spatial buffering and overlay tools. Results indicate that 92.9% of TRI sites are located within one mile of a school, with 64 schools situated near multiple high-risk facilities.

Rising Sea Level Risks to Miami (2100 Inundation Projections)

Highlighting severe inundation risks to densely populated and economically vital areas in the city using projections from NASA and the Florida Climate Center. The results, derived from map algebra operations performed on a digital elevation model, visually emphasize increased vulnerability along low-lying coastal regions, particularly during storm surges and high-tide events, underscoring the urgent need for substantial mitigation efforts to protect Miami's infrastructure and residents.
