What you get

CSV export

The CSV is designed for spreadsheets and quick analysis (Excel, LibreOffice, pandas).

Typical content includes:

  • Order metadata (area, time period, model)

  • One row per spatial unit and/or per time step (depending on the output)

  • One or more indicator columns produced by the selected model

Recommended uses:

  • Create tables, pivot tables and charts

  • Filter/sort results by indicator value

  • Join results with other datasets using identifiers (e.g., region code, cell ID)

GeoJSON export

The GeoJSON export is designed for mapping.

It typically includes:

  • A geometry for each feature (e.g., grid cell polygon or region geometry)

  • A set of properties per feature, including indicator values and identifiers

Recommended uses:

  • Open in QGIS or other GIS software

  • Load into web maps (Leaflet / OpenLayers)

  • Share a map-ready dataset with stakeholders

How to use the GeoJSON in QGIS

  1. Open QGIS.

  2. Layer → Add Layer → Add Vector Layer

  3. Choose the downloaded .geojson file and click Add.

  4. Style by an indicator attribute: * Open Layer Styling * Choose Graduated * Select the indicator field (e.g., abundance/risk column) * Click Classify

If you need a basemap, add one via the QGIS Browser (XYZ Tiles) or your organization’s standard basemap.

File content and common fields

The exact field names may evolve, but exports generally include:

  • area: selected Area of Interest (e.g., NUTS code/name)

  • time_period: month or custom interval used for processing

  • model: MAMOTH or DVI

  • indicator(s): resulting values (abundance / risk, and any secondary indicators)
