Purpose of this project: To allow all members in the group to use Github and apply tips from Open Data Science course.
Aim of project: Create correlations graphs between number of COVID-19 cases and environmental indicators, namely deforestation and fire hotspots.
Outputs: Create two charts which show the correlations of COVID-19 cases and incidence of deforestation and fire hotspots for all countries.
1) Datasets: (a) Deforestation: Lubis and Anuska assigned to look into datasets for deforestation for the world and upload it on Github (b) Fire hotspot: Maple to look into fire hotspot dataset for the world and upload to Github (c) COVID-19 cases: Estya, Yuti and Kai Wan to look into COVID-19 cases for the world and upload to Github
Using carbon emission as proxy for fires as GFED only provides fire emission for the most updated data. Data was aggregated to national level (originally 0.25 * 0.25 degree), monthly from Jan 2020 to Aug 2020.
