We developed a prototype dashboard which will be used to visualize (and predict) processed data relating to greenhouse gas emission and chlorophyll concentration in the oceans.

This project is important because chlorophyll is a material which phytoplankton feed off of, and without it the plankton will suffer. Phytoplankton are an essential part of the biodiversity of many ocean ecosystems, as they play a crucial role in many aquatic food chains. We fear that the emission of greenhouse gases may have a correlation with the reduction of chlorophyll in the ocean, thus this dashboard will allow us to monitor these changes over time.

The dashboard will provide various visualizations of this data, and with further development will be able to predict trends of both variables in order to find correlations between the emission of greenhouse gases and the chlorophyll concentration in the oceans. The project can be found here https://znreza.github.io/chlorophyll.github.io/.

We hope to achieve an increase in public awareness for this problem. We believe the dashboard can provide the public with a resource to learn more about the effects their daily greenhouse gas emission may provide. The awareness does not just stop with the public though, we would like this to be a tool that researchers can use while examining chlorophyll levels in the ocean, without having to navigate through complex data sets.
