High-Level Project Summary
our main target is to make people all over the world feel the problems that can destroy humanity such as Climate change, global warming, and ice melting, and give them which is shown with the web app with some plots and not only that we will give them some ways to help to solve problems.

Detailed Project Description
global warming is one of the major prblems that our planet faced it . Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gasses collect in the atmosphere and absorb sunlight and solar radiation that have bounced off the earth’s surface. Usually, this radiation would escape into space, but these pollutants, which can last for centuries in the atmosphere, trap the heat and cause the planet to get hotter.Scientists believe that climate change could lead to the deaths of more than 250,000 people around the globe every year and force 100 million people into poverty by 2030.
So , in our project we contributed to show the problem of climate change for users and how dangerous it is, by improving a web application of earth data analysis. it include some interactive plots that lets users to detect the percentage of carbon dioxide , temperature and ice melting in all the world. By using the application , users can detect the year and know the percentage of temperature in all the world in this year through density heatmap . also , users can know information about the percentage of carbon dioxide and ice melting in all the past years until now . from all information , they should take the actions to limit these emissions.
Space Agency Data
firstly, we used the NASA worldWind web app from NASA resources to improve it and add some features such as temperature change, increase in carbon dioxide, and ice melting all over the world.
we searched more and more about datasets and information that help us in our project until we found data on earth NASA web with many datasets on all things on the earth. we download datasets about climate change and carbon dioxide. we filtered this dataset and used the mean average temperature every year to show it in the density map.
also, we download some datasets from the ice sheet NASA web and filtered these data to use average ice melting every year and show it in line plots.
Hackathon Journey
our experience was very valuable with a lot of things such as teamwork and how to manage time, commitment, and responsibility. we choose this challenge to help people all over the world to expand their knowledge about earth problems such as climate change, and global warming.
one of our setbacks was that we didn't find a suitable dataset, but we made our best and find them
