- Blue Tech: Innovative Technologies for Blue EconomyThis innovative interactive e-book is to provide a quick introduction to how Technology and Innovation are being applied in the Blue Economy. An interactive e-book is more than a pdf or static electronic document. This e-book includes text and a wide range of interactive elements (e.g., hyperlinks, photo galleries, video galleries, interactive graphs, interactive maps, interactive data/knowledge filters, etc.) drawing upon multiple online resources.1Licence not specifiedover 1 year ago
- Atlas of Sustainable Development Goals - SDG #6, Clean Water and Sanitation - Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (a Data Story)"An interactive data-story narrative and infographic on progress on the targets for SDG #6 Clean Water and Sanitation, focusing on water, sanitation, and hygiene: essential for well-being. One chapter in a larger collection of data stories in the Atlas of Sustainable Development Goals 2020. The Atlas of Sustainable Development Goals 2020 presents interactive storytelling and data visualizations about the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. It highlights trends for selected targets within each goal and introduces concepts about how some SDGs are measured. Where data is available, it also highlights the emerging impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the SDGs. The Atlas draws from the World Bank’s World Development Indicators database, as well as from a wide variety of relevant data sources from scientists and other researchers worldwide."1Licence not specifiedover 1 year ago
- Earth Observations of Water Resources E-BookThis e-book is a quick primer on earth observation of water resources and has been developed jointly by the World Bank and NASA. It provides a basic introduction to hydrologic processes and the types of in-situ and earth observation monitoring approaches to gain a global perspective to help address problems in the real world such as floods, droughts, cyclones, and forecasting for agriculture and water-related disease management applications. It provides a primer for accessing useful NASA data, modeling tools, related interactive viewers and useful links in this regard, that showcase interactive maps to visualize precipitation and even groundwater data and trends and near-real time flood potential from space. This e-book provides an illustrative overview of the use of increasingly powerful free data from satellites that can be critical for monitoring and managing watersheds and aquifers around the world.1Licence not specifiedover 1 year ago
