Members of the Informatics team have been doing their bit following the Christchurch earthquake. While staff based in Lincoln were coming to grips with the aftermath of the earthquake (all are safe although a few have damaged property), those based in Palmerston North have been taking the lead in the processing and orthorectification of satellite imagery. GeoEye imagery was made available to Landcare through the NZDF Geospatial Intelligence Organisation, processed, rectified and mosaiced and then uploaded to the BeSTGRID data fabric where it could be downloaded by the emergency services and government agencies. We have also made 15m Digital Elevation Model data of Christchurch and surrounding areas available to the the emergency services and government agencies and also through the LRIS Portal.
Two members of the Informatics team have also been assisting on the Christchurch Recovery Map.
