The OpenIR team was awarded an MIT IDEAS Global Challenge Award in May. Further information on OpenIR and other awarded team can be found here: http://globalchallenge.mit.edu/news/view/254
Open Infrared (OpenIR) is a system that democratizes infrared satellite data by making it available in an easy-to-use web-based map format. It supports efforts at ecological sustainability by highlighting environmental features not easily seen through true-color aerial images. OpenIR will be pilot tested in Indonesia, where ecological and economic vulnerability is apparent from frequent seismic activity and limited supporting infrastructure.
