SERVIR’s Network of Partners
SERVIR: Major Areas of Work
1. Infrastructure for information
sharing**
2. Data development / Modeling /
Research & Devt.
3. Decision support – e.g. emergency
response** (i.e. GEOSS societal
benefits)
4. Capacity-building
SERVIR Portal Structure
www.servir.net
• Four Main Components:
1. Online Database /
Metadata Catalog
2. Interactive Maps
3. Decision Support
Tools
4. Visualizations
www.servir.net
1. Information Infrastructure
•One-stop spatial data warehouse
•Seamless database of vector and
raster data covering all of
Mesoamerica
•Web-based system for selection
& delivery of geospatial data
•Imagery: AirSAR, JERS1,
LandSat, MASTER, MODIS,
SRTM
•Vector data: Admin. boundaries,
ecosystems, rivers, watersheds,
roads, protected areas, etc.
3. Decision Support Tools
Decision support tools relevant to region are offered
for a variety of thematic areas (based on GEOSS
Societal Benefit Areas):
1. Climate (Climate Change scenarios / Cloud
Climatology)
2. Disasters (Monitoring of earthquakes, fires,
flooding, volcanoes, weather extremes)
3. Ecology (ecological productivity forecasts
4. Energy (SWERA products)
5. Human Health (Harmful Algal Bloom
monitoring)
6. Oceans (Harmful Algal Blooms / SST
monitoring)
7. Water (Flood monitoring)
8. Weather (nowcasts; 24-/48-hour forecasts)
