Project Description: 

In this project we will combine earth observations from space with other data to provide a systematic evaluation of sites suitable for Astronomy tourism. Students will develop their skills in data science and their understanding of the tourism industry, providing a strong foundation for employment and entrepreneurship outside of academia. The project is well-aligned with the recent launch of the DSTI Astrotourism strategy.
