Geospatial Data Workshop at the Student Sustainability Summit

In this workshop, we explored topics at the intersection of data science and sustainability.

Topics Covered

• Analyzing fires in California
• Creating charts and interactive maps
• Visualizing fire impacts with satellite imagery

We started by making line graphs and bar charts, and then made interactive maps where we could zoom in and out and click on fire points. Lastly, we visualized the impact of the fires by displaying the satellite images from before and after the fire to see how much they damaged the landscape. The goal of this workshop was to show how data science can help us understand important issues such as wildfire risk and visualize the data in different ways.
