Title: Drag and Drop Data Visualization with Tethys Dash
Presentation Type: Poster
Abstract: This work presents a drag-and-drop interface for dynamic data visualization using Tethys Dash. By integrating interactive file upload and component rearrangement within the Tethys platform, users can efficiently manipulate and visualize geospatial and tabular datasets in real time. Demonstration—Great Lakes Water Levels is an interactive, web-based dashboard developed using the TethysDash framework, aimed at facilitating real-time hydrologic visualization and informed decision-making across the Great Lakes Basin.
We illustrate how the dashboard enhances real-time situational awareness for researchers, resource managers, and policymakers. We offer customizable features tailored to diverse applications such as flood monitoring, water level forecasting, and watershed-scale trend analysis. Leveraging TethysDash substantially reduces the barriers to creating robust web applications in water informatics, providing a flexible environment for expanding capabilities and boosting stakeholder engagement. This work demonstrates the crucial role that open-source platforms can play in modern, data-driven water resources management.
