About: ICEM is enhancing the planning capabilities of national government through the development of an open source web-based geospatial application called the Cambodia Mekong Delta Digital Atlas. The Atlas will improve government and stakeholder access to a comprehensive knowledge base comprising multi-sector data sets sourced from the Royal Government of Cambodia, as well as from other organisations nationally and globally. The development of an integrated decision support tool will provide a unique and valuable resource to explore development planning in the context of climate change in the Cambodian Mekong delta. Specific tasks include:

• Developing a Catalogue of Data Services comprising a GeoServer application to share data resources through the publication of spatial data services. Relevant data to be integrated include land use/land cover, forests, agriculture, irrigated areas, cropping patterns, historical climate, climate change, water resources, and existing and proposed water infrastructure, fisheries, floods, and droughts.

• Developing a web-based platform called the Cambodia Mekong Delta Data and Scenario Explorer to visualize the data services. The Data Explorer will form the frontend of the Atlas application and enable users to explore future climate change, flood and drought scenarios in relation to water resources, agriculture, fisheries and transportation. The core feature of the Data Explorer will be an interactive map viewer with primary functionality to overlay and visualize selected data and information layers of different periods in time to provide valuable insights for sustainability planning of the Cambodian Mekong Delta.

• Capacity building activities including delivering training and consultation sessions in Cambodia to support data and system management of the Atlas application as well as developing appropriate documentation including a user and system administration guide for the Atlas.
