Using Big Data Technology for Environmental Protection
Environmental protection is benefiting big time from big data.
Data has quickly become one of the most valuable resources for any organization. New tools and data-collection schemes have made it possible to gather and analyze massive sets of data—dubbed "big data." These data sets allow us to discover patterns and relationships that we couldn't have found with traditional approaches.
One area being reshaped by big data is environmental protection. New approaches are providing researchers, businesses and governments with the best information possible, allowing them to make highly informed decisions and optimize their approach to resource use and conservation.
A Better Picture with Big Data
With big data and big data analytics, researchers can have the best possible picture of the issue they're facing — allowing them to see correlations they may have missed with smaller data sets or less advanced analytic techniques.
Networks of sensors are being used to collect data on air pollution, providing the best possible information for climate researchers, businesses and governments who want to take steps to improve air quality. These groups are also adopting big data technology to process the large volumes of data collected by these sensors and create visualizations of air quality from that data. These visualizations can help researchers draw connections between geography and data—identifying areas where air pollution has trended up over time, and identifying potential causes.
Big data is also being used to improve conservation. For example, the journey of migrating birds is fraught with human-made danger—like hunting, fishing operations and navigation-disrupting light pollution. With advance notice, it’s possible for scientists to mitigate some of these dangers, pushing for moratoriums on hunting and fishing and requesting that people turn their lights out when possible.
