NASA MAP
The Encoder IT team designed and developed the NASA MAP Website using a fully custom WordPress theme built from scratch. The platform was created to display researchers working on SWOT (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) projects across different locations around the world.
🚀 About the Project
The website provides an interactive global map where users can explore the locations of researchers involved in SWOT-related work. Each location is represented by a map marker, making it easy to discover research activities by region.
