Have you explored our most recent #StoryMap on the 2023 Afghan earthquakes?
These earthquakes left significant impacts, destroying lives and infrastructure. Nomadic pastoralists like the Kuchi faced greater impacts, already displaced by past #naturaldisasters.

Today's dissected #GEO term is Fault Lines.
Fault Lines = A break in the Earth's crust where movement has occurred.
We mapped fault lines in #Afghanistan to assess its heightened earthquake risk following the 2023 quakes.

It's day 2 of breaking down #GIS terms, and today we're looking at #NDVI.
NDVI = Normalised Difference Vegetation Index. We've used it to quantify crop health in #Afghanistan, which can be seen through the map below.

This Friday is World Education Day! We're celebrating by breaking down GIS + tech terms.
Buffer: An area within a set distance around specific features.
In Uganda, we used buffers to visualise distances between food distribution points and huts accurately.
