A shadow atlas of the world situation, built from open sources

A shadow atlas presents an interactive, multi-layered global situational map built from open-source feeds that fuses environmental, infrastructural, movement and human-conflict data into a single interface. Users toggle thematic layers - Earth activity (seismic events, fires, storms, tsunami/catastrophe alerts), atmospheric conditions (aurora, clouds, ozone, ionospheric TEC, air quality, radiation), movement (flights, ships, satellites, Starlink), surveillance coverage (camera coverage, contact loss, geolocation disruption) and strategic infrastructure (power plants, nuclear sites, airports, ports, volcanoes, archaeological anchors). It includes live camera snapshots and streams, configurable heatmaps and density thresholds, country choropleths (hits, displacement, climate anomalies, temperature time series, life expectancy, endangered species) and explicit filters for corroboration (source-count thresholds, Goldstein scoring).

Beyond visualization, the atlas embeds investigative modules and correlation tools: actor/entity networks, actor-arcs across space-time (Geo×TIE), investigative role filters, CCTV-only monitoring, outage/jamming detection and space-weather strips (Kp, solar, ENSO). Technical specifics and provenance are exposed (USGS, NASA FIRMS, GDELT, ERA5, Cloudflare Radar; D3, Cytoscape, H3). An internal-classification flag marks parts “not for the public,” signaling an intelligence-oriented design that emphasizes blind-spot analysis, source corroboration and cross-domain event correlation for situational awareness.
