Mission to Planet Earth: A Digital History
geoXpo
Summary
An app that travels you through in-depth information on Earth's exceptional breakthroughs in Science within your touch
How We Addressed This Challenge
We built an educational app that aims to promote better understanding of earth's frontiers by connecting them to accessible information through smartphones. It provides various illustration and audio-guide about a certain topic from an array selection.
Make people interested and inspire them to explore more about it.
How We Developed This Project
The increasingly growing and vast amount of data collected in the last decades is poorly accessible and non-uniform. We noticed it, figured we can do something to utilize the data in understanding the present and the environmentally challenging future. In order for us to develop such app to address this challenge, the use of C++ and JavaScript made it possible.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
geoXpo will use NASA Earth Observatory data to provide reliable data for the users:
Vegetation
Greenness is an important indicator of health for forests, grasslands, and farms. The greenness of a landscape.
Total Rainfall
Rainfall is the primary source of fresh water for humans, plants, and animals. Rain also moves heat between the atmosphere, oceans, and land.
Water Vapor
Water vapor is the key precursor for rain and snow and one of the most important greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
