THE CHALLENGE: Earth Live
Earth

Develop a web tool, mobile device app or add-on for existing apps or websites that leverages NASA imagery and climate data to illustrate the impacts of our changing Earth in areas of interest to you. Some ideas to explore include:

  • Use NASA Earth observations data, social media, smart phones, and Short Message Service (SMS) text phones to collect Earth observations and connect public in local, regional, and national networks to communicate about our changing planet.
  • Examine current natural events curated by NASA’s EONET (Earth Observatory Natural Event Tracker) by browsing global historical and near real-time imagery from space.
  • Upload images or other data points demonstrating visible observations and how they compare to satellite data. For example, generating early-warning alerts or validating precipitation rates reported from NASA’s Global Precipitation Measurement Mission.
  • Integrate NASA imagery with a mobile assistant to allow for dynamic image generation based on a basic request structure.
Explanation
  1. Helping the people near by costal areas or Dams with the flood alerts. The mobile application will be directly connected to the GPS system which gets the data from the water reading meters.
  2. Another one is to help the public to report the theft, accident, or any illegal practices done in front of them to the appropriate legal department through a mobile app where they can even send the pictures as an evidence.
