S.P.A.R.K - Space Apps Challenge

S.P.A.R.K| Data Discovery for Earth Science

Data Discovery for Earth Science

Websites like the NASA Earth Observatory showcase the many uses of satellite data to highlight interesting natural events. International partner instruments on NASA satellites such as Japan’s ASTER instrument and Canada’s MOPITT instrument, both onboard the Terra satellite, are also included as part of the Observatory. This challenge will ask you to devise a tool or technique to guide users to relevant datasets to study specific events.

Disaster Delineation

Summary

The aim of our project in a nutshell can be described as a platform which will keep the user primed with the various natural calamities and disasters taking place around the globe and also give a detailed knowledge about the factors kindred with it.The users can easily go to the website and dig for the zones they want to look for and comprehend the scenario.

How We Addressed This Challenge

We are creating a website which will address the problem faced by researchers when they first start begin their research. When a beginner starts his/her research the task of collecting relevant data from various sources can prove to be a very time consuming challenge. Also to have data from not just one but many sources this task will have to be repeated various times. Our solution addresses this issue. We plan on providing data to the users from various sources and allow them to filter the relevant data as per their requirements.

How We Developed This Project

What inspired us to choose this challenge was our own experience when we try to research a topic. Finding all the data in one place is a dream come try and makes the process much easier. To accomplish this we built a website which fetches data according to the user's needs and present it from various sources. To build this website we used basic web development tools like HTML and JavaScript. To fetch the data APIs are incorporated along with the search string entered by the user. As the data received from various sources are different handling that data and presenting it in a uniform manner has proven to be a challenge.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

Yes, we used data from NASA and other such agencies. To show users the data which they requested from different agencies we will be using APIs to gather the data in JSON format and then show this to the user.
