GeoSentinel is an enterprise-grade, full-stack geospatial intelligence platform. It aggregates live orbital telemetry from NASA satellites (MODIS & VIIRS), real-time atmospheric weather metrics, color-coded precipitation disaster warnings, and localized regional news to provide instant planetary hazard analysis—all rendered on a hardware-accelerated 60 FPS interactive map.
- 🛰️ Live NASA Satellite Telemetry: Parses public 24-hour global CSV feeds from NASA FIRMS (MODIS 1km and VIIRS Suomi-NPP 375m thermal anomaly detectors).
- 🌍 Hardware-Accelerated 60 FPS Canvas Map: Built on Leaflet GIS with HTML5 Canvas vector rendering to smoothly display thousands of global wildfire markers simultaneously.
- 🌧️ IMD/WMO Color-Coded Rain & Storm Alert Engine: Automatically calculates 24-hour precipitation accumulation (
mm) and rain probability (%) to issue RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, or GREEN severe weather advisories. - 📰 Regional & National News Radar: Reverse-geocodes clicked coordinates down to the state/country level, delivering live categorized dispatches across 6 sectors (Weather, Political, Business, Sports, Entertainment, Tech, and Science).
- 🧠 Predictive AI Spread & Plume Vectors: Uses atmospheric wind vectors and relative humidity to project downwind smoke hazard cones and 6-hour cellular automata fire-spread fronts.
- 🛡️ Safe Evacuation Route Engine: Dynamically calculates the center-of-mass of surrounding wildfires to plot an optimal escape vector pointing to the safest waypoint.
- 🎨 Apple visionOS Liquid Glass UI: Translucent frosted glassmorphism, responsive spatial drawers, touch-friendly pill switches, and 10 customizable spatial themes with interactive hover-glowing icons.
- MAP Google Maps Style Picker: Real-time tile layer toggling between Standard Streets, High-Res Satellite Imagery, Topographic Terrain, and CartoDB Dark Matter.
- 🚨 Automated Discord Webhook Alerts: Direct emergency broadcast trigger for dispatching real-time JSON alert payloads to external webhooks.
- Framework: React 18 + Vite
- Mapping GIS: React-Leaflet, Leaflet (HTML5 Canvas vector rendering)
- Icons: Lucide-React
- Styling: Glassmorphism & visionOS Design Tokens
- Runtime: Node.js + Express.js
- Data Sources:
- NASA FIRMS (Global MODIS C6.1 & VIIRS C2 active fire feeds)
- Open-Meteo (Real-time temperature, humidity, wind vectors, precipitation)
- Open-Meteo Air Quality API (US AQI & PM2.5 readings)
- Nominatim OpenStreetMap (Reverse geocoding)
- Google News RSS (Categorized regional and national news feeds)
- HTTP Client: Axios
