This research aimed to investigate the trend of annual average precipitation (mm) in Georgia from 1950 to 2011. It was conducted through analyzing data from the U.S. Historical Climatology Network database. This data included the amount of daily rainfall (mm) between 1950 and 2011 of twenty rain gauge stations in Georgia. The data was summarized and dissected using statistical computing platform R-Studio. The study is important because it provides information about the precipitation behavior over time and is useful to predict future rainfall for Georgia. Moreover, it is apparent that precipitation trends constantly changing due to climate change.

 

Our research evaluated the conditions of California’s coastal sea surface temperature and ocean color between the years of 2002 to 2017 to understand the temporal and spatial variations and trends in California coastal regions. Sea surface temperature (SST) is heavily influential to climate changes and natural disasters whereas ocean color signifies the health of the ocean and marine animals living conditions. For the past fifteen years, California’s coast has been documented as having a tremendous growth with phytoplankton with high concentrations of chlorophyll filaments flowing from the southwestern direction of the Pacific Ocean which influences the ocean color. As Earth is ninety percent water, measuring sea surface temperature is critical to provide information about the interactions between the Pacific Ocean’s health and Earth’s atmosphere. We will use Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data from 2002 to 2017. Our study will help understand the variations of SST and ocean color, find the impacts of climate change in CA coast regions.

How does the weather change impact the crime rates?
 
We hypothesize that higher temperatures does have an influence and impact on crime rate. https://blog.weatherops.com/how-does-the-weather-affect-crime-rates



Staticially, warmer weather typically does have a connection to the increase in crime rate.
 
According to this article, graphs are readily available for looking at warm weather and an increase in crime rates.

Researchers Leah Schinasi and Ghassan Hamra have studied the connection between crime rate and weather in Philadelphia between the years 2006-2015, and results show that the rate of crime was high during the May- September and days with the hottest temperature had the highest crime rate. Crime recorded was robbery, driving under influence, violence, and misconduct.
 

The objective of our study is to address the relationship between food insecurity, unmet needs and ART adherence in youth living with HIV (YLWH). Previous research shows that food insecurity and unmet needs are substantial barriers to medication adherence and it has been analyzed specifically as it affects individuals living with HIV. Research also shows that YLWH are less likely to be adherent and reach viral suppression. To our knowledge, there has not been a study done that address the role of food insecurity and unmet needs in YLWH. Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional survey that was conducted on 101 YLWH in the Bay Area of California to fill this gap in research. Our data proves to be statistically significant in showing that for every additional unmet need, the odds of high levels of adherence was reduced by 25% (OR= 0.75, p-value= 0.04). As participants moved from food security to food insecurity, the odds of excellent to very good adherence was lowered by 62.8% (OR= 0.37, p-value= 0.03).
