Data analysis was done to determine the susceptibility of fall armyworm in Nigeria
**Fall Armyworm Susceptibility Mapping (Nigeria)**
Overview
This project uses Google Earth Engine to map the susceptibility of Fall Armyworm (FAW) across Nigeria using environmental and climatic variables.
Methodology
A multi-criteria evaluation approach was applied using:
• Remote sensing data
• Soil datasets (iSDAsoil)
• Climate datasets (FLDAS, ERA5)
• NDVI from Sentinel-2
The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to assign weights to each factor.
Parameters Used
• Surface Radiative Temperature
• Soil Moisture
• Vegetation Type (Leaf Area Index)
• Net Thermal Radiation
• Aluminium Content
• Nitrogen Content
• NDVI
• Precipitation Rate
Tools & Technologies
• Google Earth Engine
• JavaScript
• QGIS (for visualization/export)
Output
• FAW susceptibility map (Nigeria)
• Values range from 0 (low suitability) to 1 (high suitability)

Notes
• Some soil datasets are static (2001–2017)
• NDVI computed from Sentinel-2 imagery
