Interactive Data Visualization Hub using NASA Terra Satellite Data

Terra Stories is a web-based platform developed for the NASA Space Apps Challenge 2025 by Team Xplorex. This website transforms NASA's Terra satellite data into interactive stories that highlight environmental changes on Earth.

I had the opportunity to build the full website, integrating interactive maps, animated visualizations, and narrative storytelling to make complex data engaging and understandable.

• Interactive Maps 🗺️
  Visualize "before-and-after" changes in urban growth and deforestation using ASTER data.

• Animated Time-lapses 🌫️
  Track the spread of air pollution (MOPITT data) and wildfire smoke plumes (MODIS data).

• Glacier & Ice Retreat Tracker ❄️
  Observe the shrinking of ice sheets and glaciers over time to illustrate climate vulnerability.

• Narrative Insights 📖
  Each visualization is accompanied by a clear, impactful story explaining the environmental changes.

• HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript – Core web development
• D3.js / Chart.js / Three.js (optional depending on your visualizations) – For interactive maps and animations
• NASA Open Data (ASTER, MOPITT, MODIS, Terra Satellite)
