In this example, we study the average temperature in Boston MA, which has been recorded since 1872. We decompose the time series into trend, seasonality and random error term. We also visually investigate the trend component of the time series in more detail and compare the yearly data using de-seasonalization. Additionally we investigate the shift of the summer comparing 1972-1950, 1950-1990 and 1990-2024.

The 30x30 goal is a global conservation initiative aimed at protecting 30% of the planet’s land and oceans by 2030. In this context, we analyze the proportion of protected areas in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We find that only GAP 1 and 2 are typically considered protected from logging and mining, a far cry from the nationwide 30x30 pledge.
