The dataset provides projections under different climate scenarios, including: - Number of heatwaves per year - Cooling and heating degree days - Projected sea level rise Researchers, city planners, and policymakers can use this information to understand future climate risks, prepare for extreme weather events, and plan adaptation strategies. ## Retrieve a Sample of Data ```{r retrieve-sample} sample_data <- nyc_pull_dataset("38ps-fnsg", limit = 10) nyc_list_datasets() sample_data ``` This code retrieves 10 rows of data from the NYC Open Data endpoint for extreme events and sea level rise projections. ## Summarize Key Metrics ```{r key-metrics} summary_table <- sample_data |> select(period, number_of_heatwaves_year, cooling_degree_days, heating_degree_days) |> dplyr::slice_head(n = 10) summary_table ``` - Period=climate period (e.g., "Baseline", "2030s") - number_of_heatwaves_year=projected heatwaves per year - cooling_degree_days/heating_degree_days=metrics of temperature extremes This table gives a quick overview of projected extreme events for different scenarios. ## Visualization ```{r visualization} plot_data <- sample_data |> mutate(number_of_heatwaves_year = as.numeric(number_of_heatwaves_year)) ggplot(plot_data, aes(x = period, y = number_of_heatwaves_year)) + geom_col() + labs( title = "Projected Number of Heatwaves by Climate Period", x = "Climate Period", y = "Projected Heatwaves per Year" ) + theme_minimal() + theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 45, hjust = 1)) ``` This plot shows how the number of heatwaves is projected to change across scenarios. It helps visualize future climate risks at a glance.
