Sponsored by: Digital Earth Australia & Digital Earth Africa Coordinated by: Frontier SI June 22-25, 2021 Open Data Cube (ODC) developers, scientists, and other users from around the world come together virtually today for the 4th Annual Open Data Cube Conference. This event includes a series of engaging presentations and panel discussions on the future […]
During the last week of July, 2017, CEOS participated in the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (IGARSS) Symposium in Fort Worth, Texas. This 37th Annual Symposium of the Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) was themed “International Cooperation for Global Awareness”, which emphasized the need for scientific communities to work together to address many of […]
Our Working Group on Information Systems and Services (WGISS) works hard in an effort to flesh out the concept of Data Cubes for enabling analysis of large Earth observation data sets. In an effort to share what we’ve learned with you, our WGISS Technology Exploration Subgroup recently added to its webinar series with a free webinar […]
There are many barriers to accessing an applying satellite data, such as the cost and complexity of transmission, handling and storage, and the need to calibrate and process large volumes of imagery from multiple satellites. This video discusses a next generation architecture for satellite Earth observation data – The Data Cube Approach – that will eliminate some of these barriers and unlock the benefits of satellite information for all types of users with easy, low-cost access, to calibrated and corrected data.
This is the second in a series of three articles on Open Data that has been prepared as a contribution to the 2021 NASA CEOS Chair theme “Space-based Earth Observation Data for Open Science and Decision Support”. Open Data for Impact looking at the origins of data sharing principles, and satellites and open data. Outcomes […]
WGISS Interest Group Scope Benefits Interest Group Members Skills Data Discovery and Access The Connected Data Assets System Level Team works together to enable and ensure a harmonized discovery and access of EO satellite data by connecting CEOS Agencies’ data collections via the supported WGISS standards and systems. The team ensures coordination in the […]
The Great Western Woodlands are the largest remaining area of temperate woodlands on Earth, and carry significant biodiversity and cultural value. The woodlands cover an area of more than 160 000 km2, and are under growing pressure from climate change and land-use intensification. High-quality maps of ecosystem extent are needed to inform conservation, restoration, and […]
Forests, which span approximately 30% of the Earth’s land surface, play a crucial role in sustaining life and regulating the climate by acting as natural carbon sinks. However, they are often undervalued, increasing their susceptibility to deforestation and degradation, which causes approximately ten percent of global warming. Forest cover continues to decline globally, with 28.3 […]
The lowlands of Canada’s Hudson Bay span 320,000 square kilometres and are home to vast and diverse landscapes and ecosystems. It is also the country’s densest region of carbon stock. The region was selected by the CEOS Ecosystem Extent Task Team (EETT) to convey how satellite remote sensing is essential for mapping and monitoring ecosystems. […]
In 2024, the CEOS Chair, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), has chosen to prioritise biodiversity monitoring from space. Over the course of 2024, a series of articles will be published here to support the Chair’s goals, and highlight the importance of Earth observations (EO) for Biodiversity. Please see here for other articles in the series. […]
