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.

Summary

We believe that creating an interactive document will show people how our planet supposed to be. So, we thought of a website with an easy, user-friendly interface and interactive maps, also a timeline of what happened to the environment before and after Covid-19. Since we’ll be using different agencies data beside NASAs. We thought of creating a machine learning algorithm that will spot similarity in different data, which will not only ensure the quality of our project but also analyze it.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Covid-19 caused a lot of harm to the human race but not to our planet. In fact, Earth became more healthier after this pandemic. It’s because most of the problems concerning the environment were caused by humans. While People were suffering with Covid-19, Earth found its way to reset is self. For example, air traffic that was one of the biggest contributors to air pollution decreases in an unbelievable wayThe project will inspire people to try to save our planet.

How We Developed This Project

First, we thought of how can we show Earth’s change data the best way possible to reach most people. We agreed that it should be a website/webapp. The goal of the website is to show and describe to the user the webapp that will be included in the website.  So, we used the FREE domain and the FREE website builder Weebly offered by Neustar. We divided the work into the two of us. One will be responsible of creating the website using Weebly. The other one will be responsible of making the webapp, which is an interactive animation (a map or a timeline) showing the change of Earth during Covid-19 also the machine learning Algorithm that will analyze the data we’re using (NASA, JAXA, ESA…).
