Satellite Fire Patrol

Overview Of Our Project

The islands of Hawaii are increasingly susceptible to climate change, with wildfires and increased temperatures becoming an unfortunate reality. Moreover, coral reefs and tropical forests are also at risk of rising temperatures. With these issues in mind, the project seeks to create a software system to identify warning signs in these areas from near real-time satellite thermal data. This will be accomplished with a web application. It will be built with Javascript and Python on top of NAU's monsoon and thermal data from Nasa satellites. The main features will be a GUI interface to show historic thermal data on the globe, and the ability for users to set alert areas if a region exceeds a temperature threshold.
