Earthquakes, a natural catastrophe resulting from tectonic plate movements or volcanic eruptions, often lead to tsunamis, posing severe threats in unprepared regions. The Philippines, due to its geological makeup, faces recurrent earthquakes and the risk of tsunamis.\r\nHighlighting past tsunami incidents in the Philippines, like the 1994 Mindoro earthquake and the 1976 Cotabato trench earthquake, this presentation emphasizes the need for tsunami risk assessment. Spatial analysis is vital to identify vulnerable areas based on factors such as earthquake magnitude, depth, and proximity to the shoreline.\r\nThis study employs spatial mapping techniques, using earthquake data from USGS and geographic data from open data sources. QGIS software, an open source mapping software, processes the data, producing maps illustrating earthquake depth and magnitude. Heatmaps identify high-risk zones based on earthquake depth concentration. Temporal analysis reveals an increasing trend in earthquake occurrences, particularly in recent years.\r\nUnderstanding earthquake behavior and its relation to tsunamis is crucial for preparedness and mitigation. Identifying high-risk areas enables the development of strategies to reduce tsunami impacts, emphasizing risk management over crisis response.

In December 2019, a strain of strange, pneumonia-like cases began infecting people in a city in China. Months later, the World Health Organization has declared this novel virus as the cause of a global health emergency which led to a years-long battle against the unseen foe. Travel restrictions and border controls were implemented and the world raced to track the movement and emergence of cases.\r\n\r\nWithin UP Mindanao's 200-hectare campus, research projects pursue ideas and methodologies targeting local community needs and issues. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science of the College of Science and Mathematics mobilized the students' interest to participate in research efforts and conducted data analytics to publicly-available COVID-19 disease data which led to the production of case visualizations in the form of maps. These were then published on various social media platforms which soon attracted the attention of several Local Government Units and government offices, most notably the Department of Health. This led to the formal collaboration between the academe and the government in the months that followed which, in turn, influenced several policies and the creation of research-based decision support systems. \r\n\r\nAnd COVID-19 is not the only disease modelled by the department's multidisciplinary team. Rabies, an endemic disease that is still prevalent in the Philippines despite several interventions, have been carefully studied by UP Mindanao research staff since 2018.

Detailed mapping allowed for the identification of distinct zones of mangrove growth and variation in species composition across different geographical areas. These maps serve as valuable tools for the targeted conservation and restoration of mangrove habitats.\r\n\r\nIn the case of seagrass ecosystems, the research included spatial analysis of seagrass beds, enabling the delineation of areas with higher seagrass density and diversity. Maps were generated to visualize the distribution of seagrass species, with particular emphasis on the dominant narrowleaf seagrass (Halodule uninervis) and its associated ecosystems.\r\nThe research also extended to mapping seaweed beds across Sogod's coastal waters. The generated maps showcased the distribution of different seaweed species, aiding in the identification of areas with high potential for seaweed farming and resource management.\r\nIn the realm of coral resources, detailed spatial mapping was conducted to understand the composition and health of coral reefs. These maps identified areas with the highest coral cover, including Brgy. Maac, which accounted for approximately 11.45 ha of coral reef extent. Additionally, maps helped pinpoint locations with signs of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) infestations, allowing for targeted intervention efforts.\r\n\r\nIn conclusion, the combination of comprehensive resource assessment and detailed mapping provided a holistic understanding of the marine ecosystems in Sogod, Southern Leyte.
