Optimizing water resources is a real issue in some geographical area. Temperature have increased by 0,85°C on average between 1880 and 2012 and couldreach 4.8°C by 2100 compared to the period from 1986 to 2005, according to the last IPCC report. As a result, agriculture and viticulture are facing an increasing water scarcity at the …
ESA and the Open Geospatial Consortium have a long lasting collaboration and a common interest in innovation, data integration and developing standards. During last week’s 120th OGC meeting, co-located with Singapore Geospatial Festival 2021, OGC CEO Nadine Alameh and ESA’s Head of Strategy, Programme & Coordination Office Simonetta Cheli held a fireside chat to informally …
This special edition of the Sentinel Hub Custom Script Contest started on 3rd May 2021 and will end at midnight on 5th September 2021. The contest focuses on Africa and aims to demonstrate the power of a deep multi-temporal and multi-resolution data cube combined from Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2 and Landsat. Additionally, the area of Dakar, Senegal, …
While waiting for the upcoming news on the next RACE challenge, expected on 1 August, let’s take a look at the March challenge winner story. Challenge #1 question was: How does the pandemic affect shipping traffic and related air and water quality? Alessandro Cimbelli, the selected winner, a technologist at ISTAT (Italian institute of statistics), …
A webinar to present trends and challenges related to large-scale EO data dissemination systems, Copernicus programme and future directions for Europe. During the webinar, various use cases showing user perspective, needs and requirements for this type of solutions will be presented. Best practices and lessons learned from delivering, operating, maintaining and exploiting large-scale EO data platforms …
In recent years the need for real-time incident satellite imagery has grown within the oil and gas industry. Following the Gulf of Mexico (Deep water Horizon) oil spill, it became clear that access to real-time satellite data, tasked within hours of an incident and used to inform critical decision-making, could have far-reaching impacts for oil …
The European Ecostress Hub is focusing on the development and implementation of the European Ecostress Hub (EEH) in support of the Copernicus High Priority Candidate Land Surface Temperature Monitoring mission (LSTM). ECOSTRESS data acquired over Europe and Africa together with user interfaces and application programming interfaces, e.g. scene and area selection, selection of different retrieval …
The activity (a thread within the OGC Testbed 13 initiative) demonstrated how an EO algorithm could be package, deployed and executed in an interoperable manner across a number of different environments.
The activity (a thread within the OGC Testbed 14 initiative) builds up on the previous Testbed 13 activities by allowing the definition of more complex algoritms (worflows, i.e. multiple tasks executed in proper order) can be defined, deployed and executed with appropiate access control mechanisms in an interoperable manner across a number of different environments.
The 2021 online edition of the Big Data from Space conference will emphasise not only on the insights that can be retrieved from Big Data from Space but also on the exploitation of these insights for foresight, that is our capacity of foreseeing. This capacity is becoming increasingly important given the pace at which our …
