Egypt-focused space-weather infrastructure assessment system. Solar Guard combines geomagnetic storm data, geoelectric-field modeling, and Egyptian power-infrastructure mapping to identify where a storm could matter most, why, and with what level of confidence. # Solar Guard ## Space-Weather Infrastructure Exposure & Priority Mapping > **Solar Guard transforms real geomagnetic observations and open geospatial infrastructure data into a location-specific assessment of where a geomagnetic event could matter most, why, and how certain the assessment is.** --- ## Project Links **Live Application:** `[DEPLOYMENT_LINK_TO_BE_ADDED]` **Backend API:** `[BACKEND_DEPLOYMENT_LINK_TO_BE_ADDED]` **Frontend Repository:** `[FRONTEND_REPOSITORY_LINK_TO_BE_ADDED]` **Backend Repository:** `[BACKEND_REPOSITORY_LINK_TO_BE_ADDED]` **Demo Video:** `[DEMO_VIDEO_LINK_TO_BE_ADDED]` --- # 1. Overview Solar Guard is a space-weather decision-support system focused on the infrastructure consequences of geomagnetic storms. Existing scientific and operational systems already provide: * solar observations * CME detection * solar-wind measurements * geomagnetic indices * space-weather forecasts * geoelectric-field modeling * GIC modeling frameworks Solar Guard does not attempt to replace those systems. Instead, it addresses a different question: > **Given a geomagnetic event, where could it matter most across a region's power infrastructure, why, and how certain is that assessment?** The current MVP focuses on Egypt. The system combines: 1. Real ground-magnetic observations from Tamanrasset, Algeria. 2. A spatially varying global Earth-conductivity model. 3. Frequency-domain magnetotelluric calculations. 4. A modeled horizontal geoelectric field over Egypt. 5. OpenStreetMap transmission infrastructure. 6. Numerical integration of the geoelectric field along transmission corridors. 7. Infrastructure exposure ranking. 8. Substation exposure indicators. 9. Qualitative uncertainty information. 10. A React-based command-center frontend. The final system connects the scientific model to a practical infrastructure-oriented interface. --- # 2. The Core Question Solar Guard is designed around four questions: ### What is happening? What geo …
