SlopeWatch KZ: Kazakhstan Landslide & Geohazard Atlas
Kazakhstan’s southeastern and eastern mountain cordilleras—notably the Northern Tien Shan, Dzungarian Alatau, and Altai ranges—are among the most geodynamically active and hazard-prone terrains in Central Asia. Catastrophic historical precedents like the 1887 Verny (M7.3), 1889 Chilik (M8.3), and 1911 Kemin (M8.0) earthquakes triggered monumental rock avalanches, valley damming (forming Lake Kaindy), and deadly mudflows (such as the 1921 Almaty and 1963 Lake Issyk outbursts). Yet critical landslide and mudflow data has historically remained confined to academic paywalls, regional qualitative maps, or legacy paper archives, leaving mountain communities and infrastructure vulnerable to cascading climate and seismic threats.
QazaqSu Atlas: Kazakhstan Water Atlas
Kazakhstan’s surface-water resources span 106 km³ with 44.3% arriving through transboundary rivers. That vital hydrological scale is hard to comprehend when split across separate ministries, reports, and desktop archives.
GeoMiner: Mineral Exploration Targeting System
A single 500m diamond drill hole costs ~$250,000. Over exploration license blocks spanning 50 to 5,000 km², blind drilling is financially prohibitive. Early-stage exploration teams require rapid, regional generative reconnaissance to eliminate barren terrain and pinpoint high-probability alteration zones before deploying field crews.
