World protector - Space Apps Challenge

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.

Improving the air and the water quality during the phase of covid-19 Pandemic

Summary

After looking at Space data, we have found that the impact of the epidemic on the environment and society is evident from both the positive and the negative aspects of the atmosphere. It is noted that pollutants, particularly nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide, have fallen in many regions of the world, such as China, India, Italy and the United States We suggest that we use the closure period to repair the infrastructure and make it environmentally friendly so as to maintain low contaminants even after a crisis is over

How We Addressed This Challenge

Our project has met the challenge as it documented the changes that happened in the environment that caused by this epidemic such as the impacts of COVID 19 on the atmosphere as the decreasing in nitrogen dioxide. It also talked about the impacts of the COVID 19 on the water as hitting the international sea freight forwarding market. Finally it talked about the impacts of COVID 19 on the global economy as losing in the global economic by about $ 50 billion.

How We Developed This Project

Our team is inspired to choose this challenge to work on recognizing the local environment changes that happened from the beginning of the covid-19 epidemic and if these changes are useful or useless to the whole world. Through the use of other innovative methods to display data and diversity in sources،

NASA data was the most important data to us and it helped us a lot to get statistics and ideas,

Artificial intelligence-based data analysis software.
