Earthquakes
A dashboard to visualize earthquakes around the world between 2000 and 2020.
Context
A abnormal seismic activity has been recorded in late 2020 near my city, Strasbourg, France.
These unusual earthquakes may have been caused by boreholes made during the exploration phase of a geothermal energy project.
This gave me the idea of making a dashboard to display the earthquakes worldwide and learn more about this phenomenon.
Data source
To make a good dashboard, you need good data.
I used the webservices of www.seismicportal.eu.
The dataset is updated automatically every hour, leveraging Github's Flat Data, with scripts under scripts/flatdata. File data/viz/dataset.csv is then always up to date` .
If you wish to rebuild the whole dataset from scratch, there are 2 steps :
- collect the raw data from the webservice :
python scripts/scrapping/download_json.py - aggregate the json files into a csv file :
python scripts/scrapping/build_dataset.py
Data Engineering
The data engineering is done using pandas.
Dashboard
The dashboard is made with Holoviz (using Holoviews, Geoviews and Panel) with the Bokeh backend.
