Climate Social Responsibility
Overview
Don’t get confused with the common CSR - Corporate Social Responsibility! I’m introducing Climate Social Responsibility here.
As a teenager, I dreamt about a future career in technology that could provide actionable, life-saving insights. This led me to the Department of Geophysics and Meteorology at IPB University, where environment and climate issues captured my interest. During my final two years of undergraduate studies, I discovered the beauty of geospatial applications for climate research - combining my passion for science with visual communication through maps and data visualization.
I understand that meteorological bureaus in each country have the absolute authority to provide climate-related data and information under government regulations. This repository serves as complementary information and an alternative perspective to ground observations - my contribution as a graduate of agricultural meteorology to the fields I’m passionate about.
About the Data
Data and information play crucial roles in decision-making processes. This repository focuses on geographical data related to location and position on Earth. Despite limited availability of open geographical data on the internet, such information is vital for visualization, planning, and decision support systems at all administrative levels - from local to global.
This data catalogue serves as a repository for climate and vegetation datasets. I continuously update this collection with the latest selected data, promoting data sharing and open-source principles to encourage more data exploration and analysis.
