-Inspiration

We are significantly inspired by the animation of Mississippi delta loss, which is illustated on the NASA Delta-X website. It pique our interest and curiosity about why Missippippi delta vanishing in such a high speed, and motivate us to find out some possible solution. That is why we produced following analysis and application.

-Features of the website

We design this website to reveal the crisis happening in Mississippi Delta. First into our website, you will see the aerial photography of Mississippi Delta from 1988 to 2018, and knowing how serious the situation is.

Then we conduct several analysis on meterological data from NASA. Eventually, we find out the relationship between Mississippi Delta, sea level, and carbone dioxide.

Furthermore, we use regression analysis predict the future trend of sea level.Then design a interactive interface, educating the public that everyone has the ability to prevent sea level rising.

-Tool

We conduct data analysis via python, and design a website to present our result by javascript. You could find details on :

Python code on Colab : https://colab.research.google.com/drive/15tlxEjaLg2qNI0JwZpfNkOY3MbhWGmyk?usp=sharing

Github repository of our website : https://github.com/YellowJason/nasa_hack

All datas we use are frow NASA datasets. Including :

1. Mississippi water level data, from NASA Delta-X mission.
2. Carbon Dioxide concentration, from https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/carbon-dioxide/
3. Global Temperature, from https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/
4. Global Mean Sea Level, from https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/sea-level/

We conduct several analysis on these datas. First we plot datas versus time, our result shows that every datas have the same trend, Also find out that Mississippi river water level is rising at a speed 10 times faster than Sea level rising. So we think prevent sea level from rising is the most efficient way to save Missippi delta.

Than we turn our eyes on global data, further analysis relationship betweens different phenomenon, getting the regression line between CO2 concentration & Sea level. Use the relation predict future sea level, and use the prediction educate the public. Showing that if you have the belief and take actions right away, there is still a chance to save our mother Earth.

First of all, it's a wonderful experience during NASA Hackathon. We chose the fittest challenge for the team, and made use of expertise and skill from every member. Cooperation, patience, and discussion are indispensable for the team. Most importantly, we have learn a lot of skill during discission from each other.

We are the students from different departments of National Taiwan University, including atsmospheric science and electrical engineering and Geographic science department. We cooperate with each other, combining everyone's expertises.Becasue we some of members are from atmospheric science department, we decided to chose this challenge in order to educate the public.

We appriciate our professors and resouce from NTU and help from Space Apps campaign.

Without your help, we could haven't done this great work.
