On the development of an application for the compilation of global sea level changes (2402.02582v1)
Abstract: There is a lot of data about mean sea level variation from studies conducted around the globe. This data is dispersed, lacks organization along with standardization, and in most cases, it is not available online. In some instances, when it is available, it is often in unpractical ways and different formats. Analyzing it would be inefficient and very time-consuming. In addition to all of that, to successfully process spatial-temporal data, the user has to be equipped with particular skills and tools used for geographic data like PostGIS, PostgreSQL and GeoAlchemy. The presented solution is to develop a web application that solves some of the issues faced by researchers. The web application allows the user to add data, be it through forms in a browser or automated with the help of an API. The application also assists with data querying, processing and visualization by making tables, showing maps and drawing graphs. Comparing data points from different areas and publications is also made possible. The implemented web application permits the query and storage of spatial-temporal data about mean sea level variation in a simplified, easily accessible and user-friendly manner. It will also allow the realization of more global studies.
