Ms. Raychell Velez presented her work on April 20, 2021 at Columbia University's International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) seminar "Bringing Vulnerable Populations Into The Flood Risk Equation." Raychell and four other students (Chris Aime, Diana Calderon, Lauren Carey and Hadja Doumbouya) from the Department of Earth Environmental and Geospatial Sciences at Lehman College are helping Columbia University scientists from the Center for International Earth Science Information and Network (CIESIN) and IRI to develop high resolution data on flood vulnerability for artificial intelligence (AI) approaches. Students use a crowdsourcing data collection technique known as "turking" and will present some of their finding at the end of this month at the Lehman College Student Research Conference. The collaboration between Lehman, CIESIN, and IRI is supported in part by the NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC) operated by CIESIN. |
