Project Overview
LandSAGE aimed to boost regional disaster preparedness capabilities by deploying CyberCANOE systems running SAGE2 in Southeast Asia. The project facilitated collaborative data visualization, fostering shared expertise in landslide management through a series of comprehensive workshops and technical developments.
Project Objectives
Primary Goal
Strengthen decision-support systems for landslide monitoring using SAGE2 and CyberCANOE, facilitating collaborative capacity-building in Southeast Asia.
Training & Development
Train researchers and engineers on SAGE2 and CyberCANOE usage while co-developing landslide visualization software.
Regional Cooperation
Enhance data-sharing and disaster risk awareness across Southeast Asian partner institutions.
Activities Conducted
Workshop Series
Five comprehensive workshops across Japan, Thailand, Korea, Laos, and Vietnam, training participants on CyberCANOE usage and SAGE2 deployment strategies.
Prototype Development
