    Project Noah is a tool and platform that harnesses citizen scientists to document wildlife and explore nature. Launched in 2010 by NYU, it aims to build the go-to platform for documenting all organisms globally. By developing mobile apps, Project Noah crowdsources ecological data and raises wildlife awareness. It hopes to measure changes in biodiversity over time. Backed by National Geographic, the project's goal is to mobilize a new generation of nature explorers.

    Project Noah

    Project Noah is a tool to explore and document wildlife and a platform to harness the power of
    citizen scientists everywhere.
    Project Noah is an award-winning software platform designed to help people reconnect with the
    natural world. Launched out of NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program in early 2010,
    the project began as an experiment to mobilize citizen scientists and build a digital butterfly net
    for the 21st century. Backed by National Geographic, Project Noah is mobilizing a new
    generation of nature explorers and helping people from around the world appreciate their local
    wildlife. Our community is harnessing the power and popularity of new mobile technologies to
    collect important ecological data and help preserve global biodiversity.
    Our ultimate goal is to build the go-to platform for documenting all the world’s organisms, and
    through doing this we hope to develop an effective way to measure Mother Nature’s pulse. By
    developing tools to help the mobile masses share their encounters with nature, we are building a
    powerful force for crowdsourcing ecological data collection and an important educational tool
    for wildlife awareness and preservation. We hope you’ll support us on this mission by joining
    Project Noah today.

    The Project has the following components:


    Distribution of Hydrometeorological Devices in hard-hit areas in the Philippines
    (Hydromet).
    A total of 600 automated rain gauges (ARG) and 400 water level monitoring stations (WLMS)
    will be installed along the country’s 18 major river basins (RBs) by December 2013 to provide a
    better picture of the country’s surface water in relation to flooding.
    Disaster Risk Exposure Assessment for Mitigation – Light Detection and Ranging
    (DREAM-LIDAR) Project.
    Aims to produce more accurate flood inundation and hazard maps in 3D for the country’s flood-
    prone and major river systems and watersheds.
    Enhancing Geohazards Mapping through LIDAR.
    Shall use LIDAR technology and computer-assisted analyses to identify exact areas prone to
    landslides.
    Coastal Hazards and Storm Surge Assessment and Mitigation (CHASSAM).
    Will generate wave surge, wave refraction, and coastal circulation models to understand and
    recommend solutions for coastal erosion.
    Flood Information Network (FloodNET) Project.
    Is a flood center that will provide timely and accurate information for flood early warning
    systems. The FloodNET Project will come up with computer models for the critical RBs,
    automate the process of data gathering, modeling and information output, and release flood
    forecasts.
    Local Development of Doppler Radar Systems (LaDDeRS).
    LaDDeRS seeks to develop local capacity to design, fabricate, and operate sub-systems of
    Doppler radars for remotely sensing the dynamic parameters of sea surface such as wave, wind
    field, and surface current velocity.
    Landslide Sensors Development Project.
    This project is a low-cost, locally developed, sensor-based early monitoring and warning system
    for landslides, slope failures, and debris flow. As of May 2012, ten sensors have been installed in
    San Francisco, Surigao del Norte; Tago, Surigao del Sur; Tublay, Bugias, and Bokod in Benguet;
    Guihulngan City, Negros Occidental; St. Bernard, Southern Leyte; and Tubungan, Iloilo.
    Additional sensors are expected to be deployed to not less than 50 sites by 2013.
    Weather Hazard Information Project (WHIP).
    WHIP involves the utilization of platforms such as television (DOSTv) and a web portal, which
    display real-time satellite, Doppler radar, ARG, and WLMS data to empower LGUs and
    communities to prepare against extreme natural hazards. This is complemented by activities,
    such as: a) conducting of IEC (Information, Education, and Communication) activities; and b)
    the processing and packaging of relevant and up-to-date information for public use.
