AstroPI investigation that aimed to find out the effect of volcanoes and nuclear explosions upon vegetation on earth. A raspberrypi with HQ camera with NDVI took photos which were compared with NDVI photos from NASA archive to check if there is difference in vegetation after an explosion.

What is this?

This is a submition for Astro Pi: Mission Space Lab 2022 with code and phase 3 report


Chosen theme: Life on Earth

1. Introduction

The idea:

We decided to investigate to what extent volcanic activity like volcanic ash and testing of nuclear weapons affect vegetation on Earth, by comparing areas that are or have been affected, to areas that haven't. We also wanted to use the data we gathered from the ISS to compare it with old NDVI data from NASA's archive, but we decided to use another method because the data we got was not affected by circumstances we decided to measure at the same time NASA was gathering NDVI data. We think that this experiment is interesting because all of us like explosions, and we wanted to investigate how they affect vegetation on Earth. We expect to find out that volcanoes help vegetation to grow and that nuclear activity doesn't affect vegetation amount nearby.
