Our project seeks to answer the question of human involvement in spread of infectious diseases by informing the public as well as making them aware of the diseases that they are exposed to as a result of the human activities that they are involved in such as environmental degradation, poor consumption behaviour and urban overpopulation.
We chose this challenge because we believe that we are our greatest friend and enemy. Taking care of ourselves and that which is around us will prevent the spread of infectious diseases.We used NASA's Black Marble and the NASA SEDAC Global COVID19 Viewer to aeosol optimal depth and population distribution respectively in different areas and later discovered how diseases could be spread in certain regions of interest as a result of these factors. Despite having a challenging time navigating through some datasets, we were able to extract that which was relevant for our project.
