[GGWoC Project] AI-Powered Climate & Settlement Impact Analyzer

[gitsofaryan]

Project Name

AI-Powered Climate & Settlement Impact Analyzer

Project Description

The goal of this project is to build a web platform that predicts and visualizes how climate change impacts human settlements. The system will:

• Ingest climate datasets (temperature rise, rainfall, flood maps, sea-level rise)
• Overlay population and settlement maps to identify vulnerable areas
• Use AI/ML to predict migration risks and future settlement hotspots
• Provide an interactive dashboard for visualizing risks and possible interventions

This project will help policymakers, researchers, and communities plan sustainable settlements under climate challenges.

Project Resources

• NASA Earth Data / Copernicus Climate Data
• IPCC Climate Change Reports (public datasets)
• OpenStreetMap (settlement + infrastructure data)
• Example Geospatial Tools: Leaflet.js, Google Earth Engine

Required Tech Skills

• Python (for ML + geospatial processing)
• QGIS / GeoPandas / Shapely (for spatial analysis)
• React.js + Leaflet.js / Mapbox (for web visualization)
• ML models for risk prediction (scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch)

Track Type

• Paid
• Unpaid

If paid, you agree to sponsor the contributor with a stipend during the program.

Expected Deliverables

• Data ingestion pipeline (climate + settlement datasets)
• AI risk model for predicting vulnerable zones
• Interactive map dashboard showing risk levels & migration hotspots
• Final report + documentation for reproducibility
