Visualization of US Climate Data

This was a group project with James Bonifield, Chris Comfort, and Diego Carvallo for CSE6242. The data visualization linked below shows a combination of three climate-related datasets:

  • Temperature
  • CO2 emissions
  • Power generation mix

Our objective was to provide users with relevant and easy-to-digest climate/energy data for their locality (in the US). It was a significant challenge to digest such diverse datasets and display them in a user-friendly way.

The visualization is built with Plotly and Dash - Python toolkits for building interactive visualizations. Please visit the following link to view and interact.

Note: Please allow around 1-2 minutes for the page to load. Since this is only a prototype, all datasets are pre-loaded, requiring significant time for data transfer.
