Sea Level Predictor

Introduction

This repository contains a Python script that performs data visualization on sea level rise using the Pandas and Matplotlib libraries. The script reads sea level data from a CSV file, creates a scatter plot with lines of best fit, and visualizes the rise in sea levels over time.

Code Description

The Python script performs the following tasks:

1. Imports necessary libraries: pandas, matplotlib.pyplot, and scipy.stats.linregress.

2. Reads sea level data from a CSV file using Pandas.

3. Creates a scatter plot with sea level data points.

4. Calculates and plots the line of best fit using all data from 1880 to 2050.

5. Calculates and plots the line of best fit using data from the year 2000 onwards.

6. Adds labels, title, and legend to the plot.

7. Saves the plot as an image file and returns the plot object.

Key Points / Learning

• Data Visualization: The script showcases the use of Matplotlib library for creating visualizations.

• Line of Best Fit: The script demonstrates how to calculate and plot lines of best fit for the sea level data.

• Data Analysis: The script calculates and visualizes the rise in sea levels over time using linear regression.

Applicability

This code is applicable in scenarios where you need to visualize and analyze sea level rise data to observe trends and patterns. Potential areas of application include:

• Climate Research: Analyzing historical sea level data to study climate change and its impact.

• Environmental Monitoring: Visualizing sea level rise for regions vulnerable to coastal flooding.

• Educational Purposes: Demonstrating the use of linear regression and data visualization in educational contexts.

How to Use
