The Impact of Extreme Weather Events on Socioeconomic Status – A Case Study in the Southeast Asian Region (A MADE SS 2024 Project) This project is one of the MADE Summer 2024 Projects implemented by our students. We run these projects every semester, please be in touch if you are interested in participating! Author: Minh Khue, Tran Project Description: In the last few decades, Southeast Asia has emerged as a region of significant economic development. The region however faces a daunting challenge as it is among those most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and extreme weather events. Different factors contribute to this vulnerability, including low-lying land that is susceptible to rising sea levels, frequent floods and droughts, large populations, heavy reliance on agriculture for economic stability, and limited community resilience to climate change. Some of the most extreme weather events have been experienced worldwide in emerging Southeast Asian nations such as the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam. This data project aims to provide insights into how extreme weather events have affected the socioeconomics of 12 Southeast Asian countries. Two main questions will be analyzed by examining underlying patterns in the datasets: 1. “What are the patterns in the occurrence of extreme weather events and the socioeconomic status of Southeast Asian countries?” 2. “How do disaster risks impact the socioeconomic landscape of Southeast Asian countries?” Report: https://lnkd.in/ejczf4NT Slides: https://lnkd.in/evViB5_9 Repository: https://lnkd.in/e5yqGKXc Reference: Minh Khue, Tran.

We run these projects every semester, please be in touch if you are interested in participating! Author: Jonathan Vincent Project Description: Over the past few decades, the topic of solving environmental problems and climate change has drawn attention from all over the world. Converting from fossil fuels to renewable energy is one of the most significant aspects of this issue. This study aims to clarify the impact of changes in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the adoption of renewable energy sources on electricity demand patterns and carbon emissions in Germany, Sweden, and Bulgaria from 2000 to 2021. These three countries were selected to represent a different spectrum of economic development and renewable energy profiles. The results of this analysis could offer valuable insights into the effectiveness of sustainable economic growth in reducing energy consumption and emissions.

Evolving Weather Trends in Germany: Insights from Historical Data (A MADE Summer 2024 Project) This project is one of the MADE Summer 2024 Projects implemented by our students. We run these projects every semester, please be in touch if you are interested in participating! Author: Yannick Rudolf Project Description: This project analyzes data from the German Weather Service(DWD) in relation to the change in the number of weather phenomena in the period of 1981–2021. The data shows that there has been an increase in weather phenomena. However, as this happens relatively suddenly, it is not possible to say with complete certainty that the increase is due to climate change.

An Analysis and Visualization of Agricultural Data to Understand the Impact of Climate Change (A MADE Summer 2024 Project) This project is one of the MADE Summer 2024 Projects implemented by our students. We run these projects every semester, please be in touch if you are interested in participating! Author: Zeeshan Ahmed Project Description: Climate change is increasingly transforming agricultural landscapes globally, creating significant challenges for food security and crop productivity. The effects of rising average surface temperatures are particularly noticeable in countries with varied agricultural practices and climates. The impact of climate change on crop yields varies by region, including temperate and tropical areas. However, understanding the complex relationship between climate and agricultural data remains a challenge that requires an efficient data analysis and visualization framework. To address this, the project aims to develop an ETL pipeline to evaluate the impact of climate change on agricultural data and generate valuable insights. The pipeline will gather various public datasets, including historical climate data such as temperature, and crop yield records. The collected data will be transformed to standardize formats, fill missing values, and integrate relevant variables. The loaded data will then be analyzed using statistical methods to identify trends, correlations, and irregularities caused by climate change on crop yield variability. Time series plots will be utilized to effectively present the insights and patterns derived from the analysis. This framework will empower policymakers and researchers to address the challenges posed by climate change in agriculture by providing them with well-informed decision-making capabilities.

How Does Climate Change (Temperature, Humidity, and Wind Speed) Affect Bike Rentals? (A MADE Summer 2024 Project) This project is one of the MADE Summer 2024 Projects implemented by our students. We run these projects every semester, please be in touch if you are interested in participating! Author: Apu Das Project Description: Urban bike-sharing systems have emerged as a popular and eco-friendly mode of transportation in many cities, significantly mitigating climate change by reducing dependency on fossil fuels and lowering carbon emissions. The Capital Bikeshare and Seoul Bike Sharing systems are perfect examples of this trend. Understanding the factors that impact bike share rentals is crucial for optimizing efficiency and ensuring rider demand. This study analyzes the factors influencing bike share rentals using data from two different datasets from two countries. By exploring the impact of weather (temperature, humidity, and wind speed), we will try to find trends and patterns in bike rental demand. Thus, this analysis will provide valuable and practical insights into the question, “How does climate change (temperature, humidity, and wind speed) affect bike rentals?”. It will also ensure sufficient bike availability and contribute to the fight against climate change by promoting sustainable transportation alternatives.

MADE Winter 2023/24 Projects: Association between Newly Registered Passenger Cars and CO2 emissions in the EU Author: Niloofar Jorkash Project Description: Greenhouse gas emissions from transport account for 25% of the total EU greenhouse gas emissions. In order to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, as specified in the European Green Deal, there is a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector by 90%. In this project, the primary objective is to explore the correlation between automobile choices and CO2 emissions. This project aims to examine the impact of selecting one type of car engine over another on CO2 emissions and its consequent effects on various aspects of life. The objective is to comprehend how individuals' choices of car engine fuel contribute to the quantity of CO2 emissions.
