The Drone Medical Package Delivery project tested a prototype system to improve medical access in Eastern Shore, Virginia.
This project examines the potential co-migration of socioecological systems as coastal flooding and decision pathways shape responses to coastal squeeze.
GeoSEA worked with ICAR and the City of Chesapeake to collect drone imagery of key areas along Bainbridge Blvd. These images were processed into one large mosaic to give the City of Chesapeake a high resolution, birds eye view of their future planning efforts for flood mitigation and adaptation.
GeoSEA, along with Dr. Tom Allen, ICAR, and Cherrystone Aqua-Farms, carried out tests of a new topo-bathymetric Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) system. This aerial drone-mounted laser scanner uses a green laser to scan past the surface of the water allowing users to get elevation below the surface of the water and the connected land. This continuous dataset allows for seamless integration into coastal engineering, habitat mapping, and other applications such as storm impact assessment on oyster beds.
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.
The Location Intelligence for Food Equity (LIFE) project partnered researchers from Old Dominion 91¶ÌÊÓƵ, Eastern Virginia Medical School, Norfolk 91¶ÌÊÓƵ 91¶ÌÊÓƵ, and the Hampton Roads Biomedical Research Consortium to develop spatial data that identify food equity and security information at the neighborhood scale.
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.
The Windsite page provides interactive resources for those seeking to establish locations for sustainable wind energy developments
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.
ODU worked closely with the Commonwealth to develop research-based recommendations to for elevation standards for new, state-owned buildings.
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.
An Analysis of the Potential Costs and Consequences of a Hurricane Impacting the Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News Metropolitan Area.
A web mapping application to display historical aerial imagery for ODU's main campus from the 1970s to present.
A study of the Norfolk International Terminal South to determine which areas and infrastructure are susceptible to tidal flooding, storm inundation and surge.
Partnership with CCPO to use small UAVs to calibrate high frequency radars used for ocean surface current mapping.
Creation of GIS database and 2d, 3d visualizations of trees on ODU Norfolk campus. Data collected by students and project conducted in partnership with ODU Facilities Management.
