Where and how SI was used

The NASA Space Apps Challenge 2026 asks teams to say where and how SI tools were used. This page is that statement.

Not made by SI

• The idea: choosing this challenge, this flood and this audience, and tracing the flood to its source for residents and government.
• The story text in each chapter.
• The radar data, the map data and every number on the site. These are measurements and cited statements.

Made with SI assistance (Claude, by Anthropic, used through Claude Code)

• Research support: collecting the official challenge rules, finding which NISAR scenes cover the valley, and gathering source links for the event.
• Code: the data-processing scripts (data requests, change detection, river statistics, map tiles) and this website’s HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Each file carries an SI note in its header.
• Derived data: the change maps and statistics were computed from NISAR data by that SI-written code. The method is on the credits and methods page.
• Short interface text: labels, legends, data captions, and the method and limits notes.

Images, video, audio

The site contains no SI-generated images, video or audio. Map imagery is rendered directly from NISAR measurements and open map data. No NASA logos or insignia are used.
