The COVID-19 pandemic offered an unprecedented opportunity to look at changes in the Earth system in response to reduced human activity. Your challenge is to develop tools to better understand changes in the interconnected Earth system as seen through the EO Dashboard.
Team BlackX believes that the environment always reacts to human activities. When the Covid-19 hits in 2020, human activity has changed, so has the environment around us. We studied water quality, Greenhouse gases, Air quality, Nightlights, and Covid-19 situation of Tokyo city using the Earth Observing Dashboard. We tried to understand how the situation has changed in Tokyo city over time.
The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic is our time's defining global health disaster and the greatest challenge we've faced since World War II. The virus has spread around the world since its discovery in Asia in 2019.
Chlorophyll-a concentrations, which reflect the quantity of phytoplankton in ocean waters, are frequently employed as a proxy for inland and coastal water quality. We have taken data from EO Dashboard from 2020 April to 2021 April of water quality in the Tokyo city along with night lights, air quality, greenhouse gases and airport: throughput. We divided the timeline into 4 categories. They follow as S1, S2, S3, S4.
S1 category is the beginning of covid-19 pandemic. As covid-19 is declared as a global pandemic in the year of 2020, it was something for everyone. During this time of Lockdown, isolation and health cries all over the world, we tried to visualize the changes of chlorophyll-a in the Tokyo city along with night lights, air quality, greenhouse gases and airport: throughput.
S2 category is defined as moderated stable situation of covid-19. As a few months had passed people started to understand the situation. We tried to visualize the environmental changes of Tokyo city.
S3 category is defined as ‘a new hope’. AS almost 9 months had passed and there was a few ground breaking development of covid-19 vaccine. People started to hope that the nightmare is going to end in the new year. We tried to understand the activity of people throughout the changes of parameters.
S4 category is defined as ‘the new beginning’. There was a vaccine but there was also a new deathly variant of covid-19. We tried to visualize the situation through the changes of water quality in the Tokyo city along with night lights, air quality, greenhouse gases and airport: throughput.
We hope to understand how the environment around us reacts by our activity.
We believe that the public should learn by heart that we will not be able to stay on this planet for much longer, and that it will be passed down to future generations as a legacy of conditioning. It implies that we only have one great planet to share, and we've been doing it for years.
In the near future the rate of photosynthesis may decrease. The amounts of agricultural food products will drop. This shows that our community has no respect for nature. In order to keep our environment clean, we must maintain and protect our environment and reduce those problems.
Rather than commercialization, our function in nature should be one of sustenance. We've been exploiting the earth for far too long, and the repercussions are all around us. We have no right to infringe on the livelihood of any other species since everything is interconnected. In reality, our cognitive abilities and awareness of nature compel us to preserve the environment's integrity. So, we must change how we influence the land. We must respect the natural order of things and find a way to live accordingly.
We believe if the nature around us stays healthy we will also be healthy. We chose this challenge because we thought that we can help to solve real world problems with our little knowledge and understanding.
Throughout the challenge we learnt about EO Dashboard. How it works, how we can collect the data and how that data can help us to understand the nature around us.
Technology continues to change our world, but it is neither good nor evil in and of itself. It is completely up to us whether data science and other technical breakthroughs assist mankind or make our lives more difficult.
Data scientists are leading the charge in putting advanced analytics tools and methodologies to work for those in need. The discipline of data science is becoming more and more essential in many facets of modern life. Data scientists, like those in other professions, feel a responsibility to use their talents and knowledge to help people in their communities and throughout the world.
We have the data of water quality in Tokyo city along with night lights, air quality, greenhouse gases and airport: throughput. We tried to visualize the data using The Graphics Interchange Format and the graph. Those data helped us to understand the changes over time and helped us to conclude our idea.
