Exploring the Squirrel Census
JD created a map using public satellite data to represent where squirrels were spotted during the 2020 New York Squirrel Census (background information on the left). This was JD's first time using satellite data to map individual points. Click through the different tabs to see what other visualizations came of this data set!
Â
Course outcomes:
Identify and describe the methods and techniques commonly used to describe data both numerically and visually, including the associated assumptions or limitations of a visualization.
Clean and prepare data for the summarization and visualization process.
Summarize and visualize individual variables and relationships between variables appropriately given the data type of the variables involved and the goals of the analysis.
Construct interactive data dashboards to summarize and display the important features of a data set and communicate with the public.
Use appropriate reasoning and vocabulary to communicate orally or in writing findings, conclusions, or critiques of visualizations.
