What Is Our Carbon Footprint?
Gaia Carbon Detectors
Summary
Our project is divided into three stages; firstly we aim to identify local sources of GHGs, power plants, traffic concentration, air routes, fires, deforestation events and oil extraction and processing activities. from satellitary images, service cameras or alerts and also to provide documents in the form of scientific articles, statistics and exclusives images for the emission zone of these gases and their concentration in the air. Secondly, we are going to switch to quantitative (concentration of particles or gases in the air) the footprint of these gases at the local and national level, from calculators or with estimates. Third, we are starting to educate people to use green energy ).
How We Addressed This Challenge
We have developed a website that contains a map that shows us local sources of GHGs, power plants, traffic, air and sea routes, fires, deforestation events, and oil extraction and processing activities. / gas. Our site also contains an open source database in the form of scientific articles, statistics and exclusives images for zone emission of these gases and their concentration in the air. Intended for readers and researchers to better understand the phenomenon, the risk or the problems that one lives and also to facilitate the search for information.
We have added an API platform and a mobile application for ease of use and also to access the alert buttons in the event of incidents in far areas or in the case of non-declaring industrial areas.

How We Developed This Project
We find that most living things on Earth are made of carbon . Living things need carbon the most in order to live, grow, and reproduce. Also, carbon is a finite resource that cycles through the Earth in many forms.
Why is this important?
This makes carbon available to living organisms and remains in balance with other chemical reactions in the atmosphere and in bodies of water like ponds and oceans
Depletion of Resources
Large carbon footprints deplete resources on large and small scales, from a country’s deforestation activities to one home’s increased use of air conditioning. The more those with large carbon footprints use resources, the more greenhouse gases increase and spur further climate change.
Our achievements are to create a website to identify local sources of carbon emissions and estimate amounts of carbon emissions for different human activities by using AI to aid scientists in mapping carbon sources and sinks.
We built our project using the data set from the official website of NASA to provide statistics and results about the amount of carbon in the earth through artificial intelligence technology, with the aim of helping researchers and scientists in their scientific research and in order to identify threatened places. Due to the greenhouse gases emitted in the atmosphere, we have also added a feature on our website that allows users to send information about the presence of carbon in a specific area, which will allow to facilitate the search process.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
1-The Orbiting Carbon Observatory -3 (OCO-3)
was deployed to the International Space Station in May, 2019. It is technically a single instrument,
almost identical to OCO-2.His mission designed to collect space-based measurements of
atmospheric carbon dioxide with the precision, resolution, and coverage needed to characterize
the processes controlling its build up in the atmosphere.
2- Sentinel-5P from TROPOMI observations
Is the first of the Atmospheric Composition Sentinels and is expected to provide measurements of
ozone, NO2, SO2, CH4, CO, formaldehyde, aerosols and cloud at high spatial, temporal and
spectral resolutions.
3- Climate Mobile Apps
it’s dazzling and it puts Earth in the palm of your hands. NASA’s “Earth Now” app displays real-
time global satellite data of your planet’s vital signs. Great for students, teachers and anyone
interested in Earth science, this 3D app can be your go-to source for carbon dioxide conditions,
gravity anomalies, ozone levels over Antarctica and more. Download it to your Apple or Android
device to keep your eye on the Earth.
4- ODIAC Fossil Fuel Emissions
For calculating the fuel emissions in all the world map.
5- Carbon Footprint Calculator from « EPA.gov »
The calculator estimates your footprint in three areas: home energy, transportation and waste.
Everyone's carbon footprint is different depending on their location, habits, and personal choices.
6- ICAO Carbon Emissions Calculator
ICAO has developed a methodology to calculate the carbon dioxide emissions from air travel for use
in offset programmes.
