Quiet Planet

The COVID-19 outbreak and the resulting social distancing recommendations and related restrictions have led to numerous short-term changes in economic and social activity around the world, all of which may have impacts on our environment. Your challenge is to use space-based data to document the local to global environmental changes caused by COVID-19 and the associated societal responses.

CO-nstruer

Summary

Our main idea is based on the concept of exploring and documenting all the changes that occurred in the atmosphere due to the prevalence of COVID-19 in an obvious way for users, so we made an application that provides users with many options by choosing the section that he wants to know about and provides a counter to track the number of injuries continuously and makes plotting So that it can be read easily. Ultimately, the app will display a lot of documented facts from NASA and NASA partner ag

How We Addressed This Challenge

Quiet planet challenge is to use space-based data Using NASA and it's partners Datasets to explore and document the local to global environmental changes caused by COVID-19. 

The entire Planet has changed within a period of a few months due to pandemic COVID-19. Industries have 

been closed down, transport sectors are dwindling due 

to complete shutdown of domestic and international 

flights, tourism activities have ceased and hence all 

hotels, tourism units, homestays and other recreational 

activities. All of that can make a Big Difference for our planet. It was noticed many changes in the atmosphere/land/water/ice... Etc. We have created App in order to document some of these changes. It is a web app that allows users of all ages to see how the earth changed over time, in regards to several categories selected by NASA!

we allow users to select one of several datasets provided by NASA earth observations and fetch such data in the COVID 19 section. through minimized sections, the user is able to explore the environmental changes in the response of COVID19

in our idea, we used NASA,s data to explore all about COVID 19 and documenting information about the local and global changes that happened as a prevalence of it. and we focused on documenting what happened to the ozone layer on the atmosphere and purification of air and CO2 concentration immersion. To provide all of this information in an organized and quick access way for all users we made an application that divides this information into sections as each section talk about a specific point, also we added counter to track the number of injuries continuously and conspiracy.

We hope that this will help people make their own conclusions about what is happening to our planet in response to Covid-19, based on scientific data. The platform is up and running, check it out!

How We Developed This Project

To solve the problem and to try to raise awareness among people and to try to keep them away from the news that carries part of the rumors, we made a web application to help them to know everything related to the epidemic that threatens human life now and help them to see all its negative and positive aspects. And the reason for making our web app is that the hybrid applications can spread more faster than native applications and this can help us to make our application to all people in the world and this will be a good point to raise people awareness and help to achieve the challenge and teach people more about their environment and how COVID-19 help it to survive again. And to make our application we use some programming languages like HTML, CSS for the structure of our application, javascript for making dynamic and interactive web pages by implementing custom client-side scripts and backend and Node. Js also in backend. And In the end, we add a different thing to our application which is counter to calculate the number of injured directly and make plotting to it to be too easy for users to know it.
