Alaska Lightning Strikes Visualization

This project visualizes lightning strikes in Alaska using geopandas and contextily to plot the data on an interactive map in a Streamlit application.

Description

This application reads lightning strike data from a shapefile, projects it to a different coordinate reference system, and plots it on an interactive map with a basemap for better visualization. The data is plotted using geopandas and the basemap is added using contextily.

Setup

To run this application, you need the following dependencies:

streamlit
geopandas
contextily
matplotlib

These dependencies are listed in the requirements.txt file and will be automatically installed when you deploy this application on Hugging Face Spaces.

Usage

To use the application:

Input the shapefile path to load the data.
The application will process the data and visualize it on a map.
