NOTE: 11.6.22

This project has been shut down (due to costs of keeping servers up) But there is an archive of the elastic beanstalk appilication, and additionally the config in .ebconfig remains (at least locally) and this project has been zipped and saved to S3.

Running Local Server

./run_server.sh

The website should be live (with reload) at http://127.0.0.1:5500/

Alternative run with python

python3 -m http.server

Ideas

  • World sea level rise tracker

    • show different levels at certain warming scenarios
    • google map like interface to explore areas
    • show population density
    • animal species
    • real estate value

  • Covid timeseries analysis and infection rate

    • can see hotspots globally for infection
    • possible to decode various geographic areas that are affected

D3 examples

Datasets

GDEM global 30m elevation calculated from stereo-pair images collected by the Terra satellite. "This is the most complete, consistent global digital elevation data yet made available to the world." This is a very new dataset, at version 1 (treat as experimental). Accuracy will be improved in forthcoming versions (validation with SRTM, etc.; see assessment here and here).

Tools

Timeline

Data points of Interest:

  • Sea level rise,
  • CO2 emissions
  • population density
  • animal habitats:

Localize to specific locations rather than the whole globe

  • Hawaii, datasets, treasure trove of data,

Convert emissions into a fun idea with different units:

  • number of car miles
  • number of plane flights
  • number of big macs

ml - predict sea level rise

if we have time to bring in a model as well.
