The Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) is a NASA field campaign that’s taking place in Alaska and western Canada over the next ten years. It is a diverse large-scale study that is looking at the environmental changes in the Arctic and Boreal regions. The ABoVE Profiles Dashboard is suite of tools bundled together to create a responsive web application that provides NASA management, principal investigators, and other stakeholders the capability to search, display and download project metadata. This data helps inform resource allocation, budget creation, and project planning/management within and between science programs.
Interviewing principal stakeholders, I gathered application requirements in order to design the UI/UX and to program server data exchange and navigation logic. Reusable code and custom widgets are used throughout all levels of the application.
Technologies: HTML 5, CSS 3, JavaScript, jQuery, AJAX, JSON, PHP, and MySQL
