GSP-SV-07: Visualisation of Local-specific Weather Data

Project title: Visualisation of Waste Data from Transfer Stations to Landfill Facilities

Industry partnerSustainability Victoria (SV)

Sustainability Victoria supports Victorians to be more sustainable in their everyday life; in homes and in jobs, schools and communities and in the systems and infrastructure that support a thriving Victorian economy and lifestyle. SV aims to improve the way Victoria manages its resources and help communities to take action on climate change. SV provide expert advice and guidance in energy, materials and waste. SV conducts research and demonstrate what is possible and inspires people to make sustainable change above and beyond legal requirements.

The aim of this project is to visualise location specific ( weather station) data from the Bureau of Metrology (BOM) on a dashboard to be made  available to the public on the SV website.

The dashboard would display climate data trends such as (examples only):

  • Max and min temps ( daily)
  • Rainfall maximums and trends per month
  • No of days over 30, over 35, over 40 per year per location.

The data is available by download from the BOM in .csv but SV would be keen to look at the possibility of using an API to get this automatically (BOM data is updated daily).

Eligibility:

Analytics/Data Science students and/or IT students
