IOTO
This project aims to create new tools to extract insights with predictive or decision making value from the output of legislative bodies. It will investigate whether techniques from signal analysis or related mathematical fields can be used to help construct these tools. The goal is to leverage public data from legislative bodies to reveal what in the legislative activity is deserving if attention from a policy point of view, either by connecting with a known policy ontology (such as the comparative agendas codebook), or by surfacing issues that should be connected to a known ontology.
Using NASA Earth data with Python APIs
This session follows on directly from the Python - Numpy & Pandas session and provides hands-on experience accessing & using NASA Earthdata Cloud—i.e., freely available satellite data—through Pythonic APIs. We’ll examine environmental risk scenarios (e.g., floods, wildfires) over various defined geographical regions of interest using cloud-based infrastructure and data.
