Open-Earth-Monitor is a EU-Horizon Europe funded project that aims at building an open-source cyberinfrastructure to accelerate uptake of environmental information and help build user communities at European and global levels.
Starting date: 1st of June 2022
Discover the Open-Earth-Monitor project values and explore how you can become central in the design and testing of the first FAIR-cyber infrastructure. Seize the chance to network and connect with international organizations!

Demo session 1: 13:10 – 13:25
1) Accessing and using the Open Environmental Data Cube for Europe 2000–2022+
with Leandro Parente - OpenGeoHub
2) Monitoring deforestation in Amazonia with sits R package
with Rolf Simoes - INPE, Brazil
"sits is an open source R package for satellite image time series analysis. It uses machine learning techniques for classifying image time series obtained from earth observation data cubes. In this demo session, we show a case study on deforestation mapping in Rondonia, one of the most deforested regions in the Brazilian Amazon."

3) OpenEO platform
with Peter Zellner - EURAC
"openEO platform provides intuitive programming libraries to process a wide variety of earth observation datasets. This large-scale data access and processing is performed on multiple infrastructures, which all support the openEO API. This allows use cases from explorative research to large-scale production of EO-derived maps and information."
4) Spatio-temporal Earth Diagnosis with data cubes
with Markus Reichstein - Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry (MPI-BGC)
https://www.bgc-jena.mpg.de/bgi/
Demo session 2: 15:05 – 15:25
1) CREAF web map client. How to do band calculations at screen resolution in real time with JavaScript binary arrays
with Joan Maso Pau - University of Barcelona
https://www.creaf.cat/earth-observation-services
2) SM2RAIN dataset for climate
with Luca Ciabatta - CNR-IRPI
http://hydrology.irpi.cnr.it/download-area/sm2rain-data-sets/
3) LandGriffon Solutions. Unlocking the sustainability of companies Supply Chain
with Maria Ricart - Vizzuality
"LandGriffon's purpose is to help companies sustainably transform the global agricultural system at the pace urgently needed to address climate change, preserve biodiversity, and tackle inequality."
4) Building open data analysis communities: co-creation and co-design
with Edzer Pebesma - ifGI, University of Muenster
"From my experience in the R-spatial user and developer communities, I will speculate how we can make the collection of data and the creation of derived products more inclusive. I think that data and derived products are more a means to get a communication going than an end in themselves, and will suggest aspects we should try to do or rather avoid."

All the sessions will be live streamed on Eventbrite through the ZOOM live-streaming service. Register on Eventbrite and select the sessions of your interest to follow the live-stream from your location!
When you register, you will receive link to the Open-Earth-Monitor online event page in your confirmation email. You must join from the online event page (on Eventbrite).
We want to build bridges connecting (Big) Earth Observation Data with the real world. How do we turn useful environmental information into action? Follow our live feedback throughout!
We aim to facilitate the uptake of environmental information for everyone by making data easier to access, understand and use.
