Maps of Biotechnology and Biosecurity are published here once their data rights are cleared and they have been reviewed. Each shows its time and space reference, its sources and its uncertainty.

Biotechnology and Biosecurity released maps are reviewed map views of health and biosecurity, published once their data rights are cleared, each with its coordinate reference, date, sources and uncertainty. A map shows released, rights-cleared evidence, not a live feed or an official warning.

For released maps, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on population density, true-colour imagery and flood water with true colour from NASA GIBS, framed on World; 3 further NASA layers wait in the list.
The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

Layers and dates
Preparedness maps serve planners comparing capacity across countries and regions. They show published assessments of laboratory, surveillance and response capacity, never facilities or agents. A specialist checks whether a score is self-assessed or externally evaluated and its date, as discussed under the platform's capacity work using epidemiology.
Analysis runs in Nexus Foundry; reviewed releases are listed here.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Coordinate reference system | The definition that ties coordinates to locations on Earth, catalogued with EPSG codes. |
| Modifiable areal unit problem | The change in statistical results that comes from how areas are drawn and aggregated. |
| Zonal statistics | Statistics of raster values summarised within boundaries such as districts. |
| Public-safe release | A recorded decision on the detail at which a layer may be published without exposing sensitive sites or people. |
The bodies and documents this page is read against. Status and editions change; each link goes to the issuing body.
The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
