One Concern's mission is to combine weather science with machine learning in order to predict and prepare for natural disasters and catastrophes.
As a data analyst, I annotated large amounts of geographical data in order to improve the accuracy of the product, a data model which concisely visualizes disaster risk in Earth's ever-changing climate.
My location of focus was Japan, where I used QGIS to assess maps, rivers, water gauges, lakes, and dams and rectify discrepancies generated by the model.
I learned a great deal about how machine learning can be practically applied to solve real-world problems, as well as the geographical factors which make can make areas "risky" in the event of a natural disaster.
