Application 1:
Initially, I wanted the information in this application to surround the Caribbean because I wanted to see the impacts of Wildfires in the area, considering climate change has had some pretty aggressive impacts on the Caribbean in affecting their dry and wet seasons. Although I was not able to do this because the drought data I was trying to use was not working properly, I ended up just using US data for this application. Furthermore, my intentions with this application were to show the impacts of wildfires by overlaying the data with land coverage and drought data from 2000 to 2025. This way, you can also see the relationship between the vegetation or terrain most susceptible to wildfires during drought seasons.
Application 2:
Something really important to me for quite some time is the environmental impacts of cities, considering I’ve grown up in one and plan to continue living in cities. I chose to create a temporal map of deforestation in Columbus, Ohio, and surrounding areas, since that is where I’m from, and I would like to see some of the environmental impacts in Columbus.
