GeoSEAProjects
Drone Mission Request Tool
The ODU GeoSEA Team has developed an application for users to submit drone mission requests. The team will evaluate submissions and coordinate to carry out drone flights.
Economic Cost of Doing Nothing
ODU's GeoSEA estimated exactly how much coastal Virginia could lose if nothing changes to confront sea level rise and flooding.
NASA Digital Twin
ODU researchers are building a digital version of Hampton Roads to simulate the area's flooding future.
Food Equity and Security in Hampton Roads
The Location Intelligence for Food Equity (LIFE) project partnered researchers from Old Dominion University, Eastern Virginia Medical School, Norfolk State University, and the Hampton Roads Biomedical Research Consortium to develop spatial data that identify food equity and security information at the neighborhood scale.
WHRO "At A Crossroads"
Flood-mapping project featured on WHRO's "At A Crossroads" series that shows the impact of flooding and sea level rise in some of Hampton Roads most socially vulnerable areas.
Wind Energy Project
The Windsite page provides interactive resources for those seeking to establish locations for sustainable wind energy developments
Virginia Tornado Alley
A project that discusses the patterns and trends of severe weather in Virginia and displays locations within the state that have experienced the strongest tornadoes.
Elevation Standards for Flooding Analysis
ODU worked closely with the Commonwealth to develop research-based recommendations to for elevation standards for new, state-owned buildings.
Blue Line Project – Future Sea Level
ODU partnered with City of Norfolk and NOAA to use drones, GIS, blue water-based paint, chalk lines, and flags to show the projected future high tides.
Major Hurricane Impacts Modeling
