To observe the life of aquatic insects through satellite images

High-Level Project Summary

There is no proper solution. We speculated part of the vegetation in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia, using EOSDIS Worldview with our limited knowledge. There was a study done by Wakhid et al. (2020) that is the reason we chose that location. The Project Demo shows the 4 months vegetation changes in Bogor; the same period of time as the study fore mentioned.The Link to Final Project is the Worldview location that is used.Thank you for your time.

Detailed Project Description

We have no solutions.

In this project, we discussed on the insects we'd like to investigate on such as bees, butterflies, and beetles. We also discussed if locust migration is still a problem but this issue was already addressed in 2020.

We finally settled on Aquatic Insects because it seemed that they are quite overlooked in the biodiversity research. Sifting through multiple studies on aquatic insects, we found a study on Species richness and diversity of aquatic insects inhabiting rice fields in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia and thought it would be a great area to focus on.

We hoped to track aquatic life using the resources given. However, we underestimated the amount of work needed and overestimated our capabilities in this field. Unfortunately, under the 48 hours timeframe, we did not solve anything. But we do have a gif created shown in the demo.

Space Agency Data

Using EOSDIS Worldview, we captured the area's vegetation growth with a period of 4 months; same time period as the study by Wakhid et al. 2020.

Hackathon Journey

Solving the challenges in a hackathon is difficult and the amount of resources given is vast. This is our first time joining any hackathon and we have underestimated and underprepared for it. We found that it is impossible to solve the challenge within 48 hours without preparation and even more so without the required experience in the field.

We would like to thank the organizers and the person who is reading this right now. We hope to join next year with better preparation and decision. Thank you.
