Progress report 1

New Project Proposal - Austrailian Wildfires

I will explore the TidyTuesday dataset, depciting the recent Austrailian wildfires. I will conduct EDA and create visualizations to increase climeate change awareness. As a team challenge, I will have students plot the fires and create a heat map.

I will be looking at example data visualizations from the New York Times and BBC News.

Data

I will be exploring fire, temperature, and rainfall data.

Timeline

  • Progress report 1 (week 4): import the date, make it tidy, and begin EDA on the temperature data set

  • Progress report 2 (week 6): complete EDA on all data sets, devolp visualizations

  • Challenge for rest of the team (week 7): develop my plotting challenge (heat map)

  • Final report (week 9): compile my findings and craft a report

Progress

I have read in some of my data files through Rscripts (mainly temperature and rainfall). I’m still struggling to understand / read the actual fire data. Especailly having difficultties with geom_sf. I have begun EDA on the temperature data and attempted to recreate a graph from the New York Times (see temperature.Rmd). Some of my data appears different and I’m sturggling to understand why. I also worked to understand how to create heat map of Austrailia (like the one from the BBC article), but couldn’t figure out how to do it (see fire_heat.Rmd). I wish I had completed more EDA, but I spent a lot of time trying to make my earlier idea work before switching to this data set. However, I am excited because I think this data set will allow me to develop some exciting skills!
