Hey everyone! 👋 We are 2 data scientists, and we are excited to share Earth Force, a project we've been building to make environmental changes across our planet easier to detect and understand. What inspired this? Simple question: We have satellites, weather stations, and enormous amounts of environmental data. Why is it still so difficult for ordinary people to understand what's changing around them? While investigating haze across Southeast Asia, we realized that environmental events are interconnected, yet we often analyse them in isolation. How we approached it We built Earth Force to monitor approximately 500 cities worldwide, all cities with >1M population, using statistical anomaly detection, Extreme Value Theory, Isolation Forests, and satellite imagery to identify unusual changes in air quality, temperature, rainfall, and wildfire activity. We also integrated AI-generated explanations to make scientific observations understandable to everyone. What's next? This is still an evolving project. we're working on improving satellite-based anomaly detection, reducing false positives, and tracking how environmental events propagate across regions. We'd love your feedback on the methodology, design, and features you'd find useful! Link to website: https://www.projectearthforce.org/ Link to our blog: https://projectearthforce.substa...
