THE CHALLENGE: Sea Ice App
Earth

To develop app that enables these hunters to make scientifically informed decisions that reduce their vulnerability to environmental hazards. This tool will:

  • Create a local record of climate change;
  • Draw attention to problems in the community related to climate change;
  • Increase cross-cultural communication among scientists and the community; and
  • Support efforts of language revitalization and transfer of intergenerational knowledge.
Explanation

Our project propose a solution for the “Sea Ice App” challenge in Earth category. Following the motto of NASA SpaceApps challenge '16 “Hack with NASA's data” , the core idea of “project's name” is generating data and using NASA's data from the given APIs to help people make decision using proper information and our app features in harsh environment like: Alaska or anyother place with extreme condition.

Our mobile app will utilize the NASA's data and interprete those technical data to easy readable information for non scientific people like fishermen etc. Our app will give you the opportunity to test the Environment, how? By refering to the past records of data extracted from your resources we will find patterns and compare the today's parameter like temperature and other factors with those records and in the end we will tell that the current day is what percent of the day when a catastrophe happened. Our interfaces will also show additional parameters on screen related to those records.

While facebook has safezone to tell people that you are safe, our app will do much more while directing you to the safezone with “mark safe zone” feature,how? If current day is likely to be like the day when catastrophe happened (determined by the feature explained in previous paragraph) then our app will tell you where to find the safezone or direction in which you should go in order to evade such a catastrophe.
