Hello! Good day everyone?

I have a query about climate change and i would appreciate to get some ideas from you.

I am volunteering in a national park, ecologist and i am interested in using remote sensing to get data for temperature and rainfall over the past 15/20 years. My aim was to determine the variability over time! My great concern here is to get other questions to answer with this data and to be specific in wildlife protected areas.

Hi Norah!
This is a great concern! Kudos!
Climate change data especially for such a long time can help us answer a lot of questions including the few listed below:

How has the climate variability affected the trend of species in the ecosystem? (You can choose to study a specific specie of animal or plant) and respond on their increase and (or) extinction.
How has climate variability affected or supported the survival rate of introduced species?
Climate variability is one among many factors of invasion, how is the invasion rate in your ecosystem?
You can also answer on the general topic of your ecosystem’s health with the data!

I would love to read a paper from the data you have! Very resourceful!
Break the leg!
