Intramuros 2D and 3D Visualizations

This dataset was generated through a thesis titled:

Disaster Dimensions: Utilizing Geospatial Technologies and Scenario Building for Effective Inundation Risk Management and Communication in Intramuros, Manila

Using digital terrain model (DTM) and digital surface model (DSM) data derived from point clouds, the study generated permanent and temporary inundation scenarios of Intramuros, Manila from 2030 to 2150. Permanent inundation scenarios incorporate land subsidence rates and sea level rise projections from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), considering Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs). Temporary inundation scenarios integrate storm surge advisories to visualize flood extents per advisory level.

Acknowledgments:

The sea level rise projections were supported by several grants from NASA (80NSSC17K0698, 80NSSC20K1724, 80NSSC21K0322, and JPL task 105393.509496.02.08.13.31), NSF (ICER-1663807), U.K. NERC (NE/T009381/1 and NE/T007443/1), NIOZ, and the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme (grant 869304). In addition, I acknowledge the World Climate Research Programme, the CMIP6 climate modeling groups, and the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) for data access and archiving. The drone-derived aerial imagery of Intramuros was provided by OpenStreetMap PH and DATUM PH under the 2021 Drone Imagery Collection Grant.
