Thanks to Bob Lang for the tipoff to AlphaGeo's data and mapping.
It claims to "Future Proof your Geography".
The first of the resources can be found by clicking the EXPLORE button top right. This reveals some trends mapping.
It includes a range of Risk Data.
Heat Stress- Annual maximum temperature
- Annual 5-day average maximum temperature
- Cooling degree days (CDD)
- Number of local hot days in a year
- Maximum number of consecutive dry days
- Number of extremely hot days in a year
- Water supply
- Water demand
- Seasonal variability of water supply
- Annual frequency of hurricanes
- Return period of hurricanes
- Average maximum sustained wind speed
- Highest potential hurricane category
- Maximum number of consecutive wet days
- Average daily mean precipitation
- Number of local high precipitation days in a year
- Number of days with total precipitation greater than 2 inches
- 100-year coastal flooding inundation depth
- 250-year coastal flooding inundation depth
- 1000-year coastal flooding inundation depth
- Mean sea level change
- Maximum number of consecutive dry days
- Number of extremely hot days in a year
- Availability of burnable fuels in a 2 kilometer radius
For example, here is the Heat Stress risk map:
The Periodic Table of States is another resource that can be found on the site.
The Periodic Table of States (PTOS) is a meta-index for our rapidly evolving geopolitical system. It holistically measures the Strength, Stateness and Stability of nearly 200 countries. Our typology also encompasses a diverse array of non-state units that exert power across space: terrorist groups, militias, corporations, civil society organizations, digital collectives and others. We aim to dynamically capture their capabilities and relations with each other using an array of methodological, analytical and visualization tools.Feedback is welcome.
The methodology is explained. These are the 4 strongest states using the methodology adopted.
To assess Strength, we looked beyond traditional studies that narrowly focus on military capability, territorial size, population, and economic output to further include industrial capacity, infrastructure robustness, energy resources, innovation, investment position, debt levels, currency stability, stock market capitalization, and numerous other metrics represented by individual variables and composite sub-indices. The Strength score was generated by taking the equally weighted sum of the percentile scores across these component metrics.
Stateness refers to a country’s institutional capacity, societal resilience, social cohesion, and other metrics of wellbeing and quality of life. To measure Stateness, we selected variables such as rule of law, bureaucratic effectiveness, public service efficiency, income, social development, food security, climate adaptation, and number other individual variables and composite sub-indices.
