For the Environmental Intelligence Grand Challenge 2020, I was part of the Pollen Forecasting Team. The project aimed to develop a statistical model to predict daily average air concentration of pollen grains, making use of the day of the year and meteorological variables, with pollen observation available for training and validation.

A review of the literature determined that there were broadly speaking three levels of pollen concentration that caused symptoms based on clinical trials, specifically Low, Medium and High. The final visualisation created:
