Title

Retrieving, Analyzing and Visualizing georeferenced data of earthquakes near Fiji since 1964

Introduction

These set of notebooks will show you how to map earthquakes from a database using standard Python and Folium libraries. The database was filled out from a CSV file obtained from the Rdatasets.

Rdatasets is a collection of over 1300 datasets that were originally distributed alongside the statistical software environment R and some of its add-on packages.

Prerequisites

See requirements.txt and runtime.txt for details about the required packages to deploy the notebooks.

Deployment

This repository contains three notebooks:

1. reading_dataset.ipynb: contains the code to read through the Rdatasers and look for dataset links containing the terms latitude and longitude.

2. db_earthquakes.ipynb creates a database from the selected dataset and computes some spatial statistics.

3. map_earthquakes.ipynb takes the database data and creates a web map using the Folium package.

To reproduce the results run the above notebooks in the same order on Binder.

Additionally, there is a file named map.html showing the final result.
