Hung Phu Nguyen: Seismic Hazard Map

This is a talk for an Application Project in the Data Engineering and Analytics program. Advisor: Carsten Uphoff.

Seismic simulation data can be used to visualize seismic hazards. The project aims at generating hazard maps out of the data by mapping the data to a geographical map, and showing statistics of the simulation, using established measures from the geoscientific community. The project should make use of OpenStreetMap data. The output should be a slippy map displaying simulation data in a layer above the layer of geographical data retrieved from OpenStreetMap. It is required that the application is able to correctly display data sources coming from different geographical projections. The project will need to deal with multiple types of data and a large amount of data (however, the data might not need to be processed on the fly but only transformed and stored statically): Inputs are simulation data files which may consist of raw data sizes in the Terabyte range, and the project is required to transform the data into another format supported by some framework to display on the map.
