SUMMARY:Hackathons: Land cover mapping and machine learning + Global-FAPAR
DESCRIPTION:The first two hackathons of the OEMC project challenge young researchers to map land cover class using machine learning and to model FAPAR at a high spatial resolution\n\nThese are the two first of a series of hackathons that will be organized by the OEMC project during its development in order to interact with young researchers.\n\n\nThe winners of each challenge will receive an invitation to present their results at the OEMC Global Workshop in Bolzano\, Italy\, processing credits in the Open EO platform and\, a lifetime subscription to PeerJ Journal.\n\nThe Open-Earth-Monitor (OEMC) project launches its first two hackathons and invites young researchers\, students and members of the GIS community to explore machine learning solutions for land cover mapping. Similarly\, the second hackathon will focus on modeling FAPAR using data-driven approaches. The events will take place online from September 1st to September 15th 2023 and will be hosted by Leandro Parente from OpenGeoHub (OGH) and co-organized by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA)\, CREAF\, GILAB\, the Institute for Geoinformatics of the Münster University (IFGI)\, Terrasigna and\, Eurac Research. \nSince a good machine learning challenge needs to be based on a high quality input dataset\, the participants of the first hackathon will work with ground-truth data provided by the LUCAS Survey\, funded by the European Commission. Using data about land cover\, land use\, irrigation management and structural elements of European landscapes\, the participants will be asked to map these landscapes using satellite images and machine learning models. The participant with the highest accuracy wins the challenge. As of the second hackathon\, Global-FAPAR (Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetic Active Radiation)\, participants will face a regression problem\, i.e. modeling FAPAR at high spatial resolution using data driven approaches and biophysical variables. \nYou can join us and participate in one of the two challenges by filling out the following registration form. These two hackathons are an opportunity for participants to connect with cutting edge developments and experts in the field of machine learning. It’s also a good chance to improve\, share knowledge and build a creditable background within Earth Observation applications. \nThe winners will be awarded with the chance to assist and present their results at the OEMC Global Workshop taking place in Bolzano\, Italy from 4-6 of October. This international event brings together European and global policy-makers\, business managers\, researchers and civil society to discuss solutions to the greatest challenges in the field of open-source Earth Observation\, geospatial applications and state of the art tools to monitor our environment. The winner will also have the opportunity to use the OpenEO Platform\, a large-scale cloud platform able to access and analyze billions of satellite images and other Earth Observation data. \n  \nJOIN NOW!\nDataset Access \nLand Cover Mapping EU-LUCAS: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8306554 \nGlobal-FAPAR: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8306613 \nKaggle Competitions \nLand Cover Mapping EU-LUCAS: https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/oemc-hackathon-global-fapar-modeling \nGlobal-FAPAR: https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/oemc-hackathon-eu-land-cover-classification \n  \nLocal environment \nhttps://gitlab.com/leal.parente/geo-snippets/-/blob/main/hackathon/oemc_hackathon_2023.ipynb \nKaggle notebooks \nhttps://www.kaggle.com/code/leandroparente/oemc-hackathon-2023 \nGoogle colab \nhttps://colab.research.google.com/drive/1zMZ0x5VAgzPjkbsbpUtWnx8FzoLQezvK \n  \nTimeline \n\nSeptember 1\, 2023 – Start date.\nSeptember 15\, 2023 – Final submission deadline.\nSeptember 19\, 2023 – Organization will contact the winners.\nOctober 4\, 2023 – Official announcement of the winners in the OEMC Global Workshop\n\nDeadlines are at 11:59 PM CET on each day\, unless stated otherwise. \nOrganizers can adjust the timeline if needed

SUMMARY:Meeting on development and sharing of open geodata
DESCRIPTION:Open geodata is the idea that certain geospatial and Earth Observation (EO) data should be freely available to everyone to use\, re-use and redistribute without restrictions like copyright or patents\, but with requirements such as attribution and share- alike. It is considered a best practice for modern geo-information and EO research in line with Open Science and FAIR principles. However\, developing easily accessible (e.g. cloud-optimised) and re-usable (big) geospatial datasets\, and sharing them “effectively” with the research community and other stakeholders is challenging and usually requires a team effort including researchers\, research software engineers\, technology advisors\, and community managers. \nCollaboration between research institutions to share technical and practical know-how on best practices\, as well as lessons learned while developing and sharing open geodata\, supports such efforts and helps in developing an open data culture for open research and development communities. The meeting on “Development and Sharing of Open Geodata” aims to initiate such a collaboration between ITC and OpenGeoHub\, by bringing both institutions together to present state-of-the-art research activities with a focus on open geodata\, discuss the needs and challenges\, and pursue collaboration opportunities especially to produce joint datasets and software. \nOpenGeoHub is an independent research foundation (a DeepTech organisation) with 20 staff\, primarily data scientists and technical experts\, located at the Agro Business Park in Wageningen. It focuses on promoting open data and open source software solutions to support regional and global projects\, currently leads the Open Earth Monitor and Eco Data Cube\, and is also involved in the Land Carbon Lab project led by WRI. \nLive streaming will be available at https://www.itc.nl/live/ during the event. \nRegistration\nRegistration is required to attend the mini-symposium.

SUMMARY:Present and Future of Data Cubes discussion forum
DESCRIPTION:Critical environmental information is today heavily under-used because it requires a high level of expertise and computing capacity. EO data is not yet a commodity and neither is environmental information. \nHow can we make monitoring systems that explain the effects of global warming on land cover changes and extreme weather (floods\, droughts etc.) as simple to use and as popular as Google Maps or AccuWeather? \nWhat have we learned so far from NASA’s MODIS\, Google Earth Engine\, Copernicus initiatives\, and OpenEO.cloud? \nIn this live-streamed event organized by HorizonEurope’s Open-Earth-Monitor project and OpenGeoHub\, international experts and project partners will discuss how we can make environmental data derived from Earth Observations and field monitoring more usable\, accessible and relevant to decision-makers and society. \nREGISTER HERE! \nStarting from the discussion of existing top-level solutions for the effective use of large EO data for real-world applications\, we will explore open-source solutions that can process massive volumes of EO data in a more transparent and reproducible way. \nOn top of public services\, commercial solutions can play a massive role: we will analyze and discuss existing commercial Data Cube services covering the whole of Europe and the whole world to understand what the best way to use them is for open\, European projects. \nFinally\, the forum will give stage also to more in-depth discussions around cloud-optimized data formats and their applicability to store and share gridded\, vector and tabular data. \nSpeakers will be soon announced! \nAbout the EuroGeo Workshop 2022 in Athens\nThis event will take place within the EuroGEO workshop 2022 ‘Towards an integrated and convergent EuroGEO’ on 7 – 9 December 2022\, in Athens\, Greece. \nEuroGEO combines the contributions of European members of the Group on Earth Observations (GEO)\, a partnership of more than 100 national governments\, over 100 participating organisations and the European Commission. GEO envisions a future where decisions and measures for the benefit of humankind are informed by coordinated\, comprehensive and sustained Earth observations.  \nThe annual workshop brings together European players interested in and actively contributing to EuroGEO. \nThis year\, the workshop is organised by the European Commission\, the General Secretariat for Research and Innovation of the Hellenic Ministry of Development and Investments\, and the Greek GEO Office operating within the National Observatory of Athens. \nREGISTER HERE!

SUMMARY:Seminar Digital Twins for Earth Sciences: How to prepare your infrastructure?
DESCRIPTION:This seminar brings together interested parties to discuss these questions and build the collaborations needed to prepare the Dutch research community for DestinE.\nDestination Earth is a major European program to build Digital Twins of Earth for a sustainable future. It will deliver huge data amounts to support research and policies. This seminar introduces the concept of Digital Earth Twins and we discuss together how the Dutch research community can prepare their infrastructure to make full use of the data. \nThrough the unprecedented observation and simulation capabilities of DestinE\, empowered by new digital infrastructure (incl. EuroHPC Exascale systems) and AI capacity\, we will be better prepared to respond to major natural disasters\, adapt to climate change and predict the socioeconomic impact. DestinE supports the European Commission’s Green Deal action and Digital Strategy. \nThe amount of data available for Earth Sciences research is ever-growing. DestinE\, on the one hand\, will incorporate cutting-edge models and real-time measurements but\, on the other hand\, also generate huge amounts of new data. How can researchers ensure that they are ready to process and analyse this data for innovative research? Which infrastructures are already available and what is lacking? \nFor whom\nResearchers\, Program managers\, IT support\, Data scientists \nOrganization\nThis seminar is organised by SURF in cooperation with the Netherlands Space Office (NSO). \nProgram\n\n\n\nTime\nSubject\n\n\n\n\n10.30\nWalk in\n\n\n11.00\nRon Augustus (SURF)\nWelcome at SURF\n\n\n11.10\nWilco Hazeleger (UU)\nKeynote\n\n\n11.45\nRaymond Sluiter (NSO)\nDestination Earth & Earth Observation Infrastructures\n\n\n12.10\nFemke Vossepoel (TUD)\nDigital Twins for safe and sustainable Delta development in a changing Climate\n\n\n12.35\nLunch\n\n\n13.35\nGennadii Donchyts (Google)\nGoogle Earth Engine\n\n\n14.00\nHaili Hu\, Raymond Oonk (SURF)\nWorking together with SURF for Earth Sciences\n\n\n14.10\nBreak out session / Futuring\n\n\n15.10\nBreak\n\n\n15.30\nTomislav Hengl (OpenGeoHub)\nDecentralized computing infrastructures and open source cloud-solutions for Digital Earth Twin systems (or how to scale up a proven idea within a modest computing budget)\n\n\n15.55\nKeynote:\nThomas Geenen (ECMWF)\n\n\n16.30 – 17.30\nClosing and drinks\n\n\n\nSURF is a cooperative association of Dutch educational and research institutions in which the members combine their strengths.
