The project provides about 60 GIS layers on Singapore’s vegetation cover change; rainfall and extreme weather events; and mosquito habitats since the early 19th century for interactive analysis. Most of the layers are based on important historical maps that were digitized and georeferenced. The project also features three storymaps related to its topics. The GIS layers are available for download on NUS ScholarBank.
