Long Description
The project utilizes satellite data from reputable sources such as NASA or ESA to monitor active volcanoes in real-time. This data includes temperature readings, gas emissions, and deformation measurements. The system leverages APIs provided by these space agencies to fetch and process the data. The data collection process involves retrieving satellite imagery and sensor readings from various satellites. For instance, NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites, or ESA's Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellites, provide high-resolution images and thermal data. The APIs facilitate the extraction of relevant data, which is then processed and analyzed.The analysis involves applying algorithms to detect changes in volcanic activity. This includes identifying increased gas emissions, thermal anomalies, or ground deformation. The processed data is then visualized on a dashboard, providing a real-time overview of volcanic activity. The dashboard is designed to display multiple data layers, including heatmaps for temperature anomalies, gas emission rates, and deformation maps. Users can interact with the dashboard to view historical data, compare different volcanoes, and receive alerts for significant changes in volcanic activity. The system can also integrate with existing volcanic monitoring systems, providing a comprehensive and unified view of volcanic activity worldwide.
