High-Level Project Summary
Our main goal is to reduce global warming, and the best way can only be portrayed through a short and educational video. We are trying to collect data from NASA that will serve as indicators of vegetation so that many more people who live in our town and our country have a more objective approach to possible areas where there may be a shortage of rain due to global warming. This will allow more people to join this social problem and learn about the true reality of our brothers who are dedicated to agriculture.

Detailed Project Description
What is climate change?
Climate change is a phenomenon that produces long-term changes in both temperatures and weather patterns. This change is caused naturally, however the excessive use of certain human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas generates global warming and its irreversible consequences.
Impact of climate change
world
The impact of climate change is a problem that is currently increasing alarmingly every year. This can be seen in the special report provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) where it is estimated that human activities will cause global warming to reach 1.5 °C between 2030 and 2052 if it continues to increase at the rate current. This will generate a negative impact, such as the disintegration of ice sheets, global economic damage, degradation and loss of ecosystems and biodiversity worldwide, specifically the loss and extinction of various species.
One piece of evidence for climate change today would be that each summer, the Arctic ice cap melts to what scientists call its "trough" before colder weather begins to cause ice cover. enlarge An analysis of satellite data by NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado Boulder shows that the 2021 minimum extent, which was likely reached on September 18, measured 1.80 million square miles (4.67 million square kilometers). ).
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) provides many water-related products derived from data acquired by the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) instrument on board the 1st-Water Global Change Observation Mission satellite "SHIZUKU "(GCOM-W1). Two JAXA data sets used in this animation are the daily 10 km sea ice concentration and the daily 10 km 89 GHz brightness temperature.

Peru
Peru is considered one of the most vulnerable countries due to the negative effects of climate change, due to the fact that it presents several of the characteristics indicated by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Likewise, it follows that of the total number of emergencies at the national level, 64% corresponded to events of climatic origin, such as rains, droughts, floods, frosts, among others.
The adverse effects of climate change means that Peruvian agriculture is not the same, due to the various effects it produces, such as heavy rains, frosts and droughts that cause crops to not develop properly and the decrease in these themselves. Likewise, there is the development of pests in drought conditions (Andean zone) and diseases in rainy conditions.
On the other hand, it is important to mention “El Niño Phenomenon”, which is produced by the warming of the sea waters off the coast of Peru and by the climatic changes that it generates at a regional and global level. This phenomenon is responsible for floods and landslides that destroy crops, because it modifies the normal pattern of weather conditions.
Data obtained from NASA were used as indicators, in this case the use of LAADS DAAC can be evidenced, which will help us obtain vegetation indicators:
Climate change monitoring and impacts using remote sensing and modeled data
NASA satellites are taken into account for monitoring water resources:
Landsat: 07/1972 – present
Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM): 11/1997 – 04/2015
Global Precipitation Measurements (GPM): 02/2014 – present
Earth: 12/1999 – present
Aqua: 05/2002 – present
Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP): 01/2015 – present
Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE): 03/2002 – present
Jason 1, 2, 3: 12/2001 - present
Space Agency Data
This resource has been used to understand the percentages that make up the elements of the Earth, as well as to understand what climate change is, the reason for its appearance, the consequences and solutions in which NASA provides scientific data to understand climate change.
https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5030: The following resource was used to highlight a global problem caused by climate change.
https://appliedsciences.nasa.gov/join-mission/training/english/arset-fundamentals-remote-sensing: To understand the fundamentals of remote sensing, NASA's Earth observation fleet was used, taking into account satellites, sensors, data, and tools for land management and wildfire applications and systems modeling. terrestrial for the management of hydric resources
We have used the following imaging products from the Atmosphere Discipline team to understand climate change from the atmosphere,using the following website: https://ladsweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/search/order/1
https://gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/: We use this resource because we consider precipitation to be an essential factor in harvesting.
https://appliedsciences.nasa.gov/join-mission/training/english/arset-introduction-nasa-resources-climate-change-applications We consider ARSET - Introduction to NASA Resources for Climate Change Applications. We have used this resource as a form of training to be able to understand the key indicators of climate change. For this, the monitoring and impacts of climate change were taken into account using remote sensors and modeled data and as a second session, future scenarios of climate change, projection of impact and adaptation.
Hackathon Journey
Our experience in Space Apps in a single word we would describe it as Creativity and Innovation. With the topic that touched me I learned of the importance and the problems that are arising due to global warming such as drought, floods and therefore there is no more effective and creative way than to develop videos with the aim of encouraging more people to avoid pollute and generate more CO2. we think that the biggest challenge for which we chose this topic is because of our brothers in agriculture who need us a lot. However, due to the pollution generated by humans, they are affected because there is a shortage of rain, floods and plagues, which affect both the economic and agricultural levels of the person.
