Redesigned some of the data visualization I did for my undergrad thesis project

Redesigning Data Visualizations: A glimpse of my undergraduate thesis project.

Introduction

In order to graduate with BSc. in Engineering Physics, I had to write a thesis project. My supervisor and I chose a topic related to the environment 🌱 : Wildfires in the state of Yucatan 🇲🇽

The thesis project was focused on gathering, cleaning, exploring and visualizing data concerning wildfires (time series, records and environmental data). Some sources were public data from government institutions, specialized databases and satellite imagery 🛰️ 🌎

With this repository, I aim to redesign some (not all) of my favourite and relevant data visualizations I created for my undergrad thesis. Some of the new designs will showcase a different picture of the data, and others perhaps will explore my creativity and desire to play with shapes, colours and concepts. Therefore, no matter the case, I will receive feedback.
