Background
After analyzing the data from radar for bird density and from cameras for urban night brightness, we obtain the correlation between artificial light conditions and bird-related variables such as densities or deaths. In order to clearly and effectively communicate the results of our research to interested audiences, a series of visualizations in both video and Carto Map are to be produced consisting of lower Manhattan maps and data points from each of our sources. Our final goal in this part of the project is an interactive map with time series data of bird densities and brightness for every lat/long point. Users can select a point on the map and view data information showing those changing variables with time at the bottom.
Data
On one hand, brightness data for the observed buildings within the sight of the camera d6 on April 23, 2017, is used in making the time depended videos. On the other hand, the joining data of birds and lights in April 2017 is used in making the Carto map.
