SES researchers aiding in Nepali disaster relief efforts

Ian Howat

Dr. Myoung-Jong Noh and Associate Professor Ian Howat are producing high resolution elevation models for use in the Nepali earthquake relief effort. These data are critical for a range of uses, including mapping infrastructure, planning rescues and assessing slope stability. They are using state-of-the-art data processing software authored by Dr. Noh and an emergency allocation from the Ohio Supercomputer Center. All data will be distributed openly online and sent directly to international relief agencies. Read the OSC press release and article in the Columbus Dispatch.
