Carbon Mapper

High-Level Project Summary

I found a future use of satellite data sponsored by Carbon Mapper. I described the decisions needed to be made using this dataset, and how to measure the client impact using this dataset. This is important because we will be able to reduce methane emissions.

Detailed Project Description

My project is simply documentation of the benefits of Carbon Mapper, and how we can use the dataset it provides to measure the client impact in terms of tons of CH4 emissions saved. This will help quantify the benefit of this new technology, and I hope this will raise awareness in how impactful this new technology will be.

  • I used this data to quantify carbon emissions possibly saved

Hackathon Journey

This was extremely challenging. Next time, I will try harder to find a teammate. I was swamped with information and found myself in a time sink struggling to complete on time. I'd like to thank the local Cleveland team for encouraging me through the hard times.
