SUMMARY:European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2023
DESCRIPTION:IIASA will be present at the General Assembly 2023 of the European Geosciences Union (EGU)\, which is held at the Austria Center Vienna (ACV) in Vienna\, Austria and online\, from 23–28 April 2023. The assembly is open to the scientists of all nations. It’s format will feature three presentation styles\, including poster\, oral and PICO (Presenting Interactive COntent) presentations – which are composed of a short two minute presentation and a longer interactive discussion. \nSteffen Fritz\, IIASA Strategic Initiatives Program Director and researcher in the Novel Data Ecosystems Research Group of the Advancing Systems Analysis Program\, and its team\, will make a presentation entitled “Opening up FAIR in-situ land-use reference data: current gaps\, obstacles and future challenge”. The presentation will close by making the audience aware of the LUCKINet consortium\, which is trying to make more reference data openly accessible and to build a consistent global land-use change dataset as well as work done on in-situ data within the EU LAMASUS and OEMC project. You can find information about it on the official page. The poster used during the presentation will be made available after the session.

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.
