# Earth Watch Live

> Real-Time 3D Planetary Disaster Monitoring & Geospatial Incident Aggregator.

Earth Watch Live (https://earth.semplicemente.io) is an interactive, open web application that provides real-time 3D planetary tracking of geophysical and meteorological events worldwide.

## Key Data Feeds
- **USGS Earthquake Hazards Program**: Live GeoJSON telemetry for global earthquakes (M2.5+), including magnitude, depth, hypocenter coordinates, and tsunami advisories.
- **NASA EONET (Earth Observatory Natural Event Tracker)**: Near real-time orbital and ground observations for active wildfires, volcanic eruptions, severe tropical cyclones/storms, and major flooding events.

## Features
- **Interactive 3D WebGL Globe**: Powered by Three.js and Globe.gl, featuring Blue Marble, Night Lights, Topographic, and Dark Vector cartographic projections.
- **Incident Feed**: Real-time filtering by time window (Past 24 Hours, Past 7 Days, Past 30 Days, All), severity tier (Critical, High, Moderate, Low), minimum seismic magnitude, and category.
- **Incident Detail Telemetry**: Precision coordinates, event timestamp in UTC, hypocenter depth, severity assessment, and direct links to official USGS / NASA bulletins.
- **Critical Alert Triage**: Instant one-click toggle to isolate and inspect active critical-severity incidents globally.

## API & Technology Stack
- Client-side TypeScript + React + Vite + Tailwind CSS + Three.js / react-globe.gl.
