SUMMARY:Present and Future of Data Cubes discussion forum at the EuroGEO Workshop 2022
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:Webinar: Hydrography90m\, pushing the boundaries of computational hydrology
DESCRIPTION:An open webinar on hydrology by the guest speaker Giuseppe Amatulli from Yale University.\n\n\nJoin this free webinar & contribute to the open-source community!\n\nREGISTER & LIVESTREAM HERE! \nHydrography90m: pushing the boundaries of computational hydrology \nStreams and rivers drive several processes in hydrology\, geomorphology\, geography and ecology. A global starized hydrographic network that accurately delineates streams and rivers\, along with their topographic and topological properties\, is needed for worldwide environmental applications. Using the MERIT Hydro Digital Elevation Model at 90m and by employing a suite of GRASS GIS hydrological modules\, we calculated the range-wide upstream flow accumulation and flow direction to delineate a total of 1.6 million drainage basins and extracted globally a total of 726 million unique stream segments with their corresponding sub-catchments. Besides\, we computed stream topographic variables comprising stream slope\, gradient\, length\, and curvature attributes as well as stream topological variables to allow for network routing and various stream order classifications. The validation shows that the newly developed Hydrography90m has the highest spatial precision and contains more headwater stream channels compared to three other global hydrographic datasets. \nMore information at https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-14-4525-2022 & https://hydrography.org/ \nREGISTER & LIVESTREAM HERE! \n\n\n\n\nAbout Giuseppe Amatulli\nDr Amatulli is a passionate forester and spatial modeller by training (M.Sc. & PhD in GeoScience and Forestry) and a computer scientist by trade. His research activity is mainly dedicated to spatial modelling\, GIS and remote sensing with special emphasis on tspecies distribution model\, areal distribution and potential shift under climate change conditions\, wildland fire occurrence and pattern recognition\, and wildfire risk assessment based on human and bio-physical parameters. \nUltimately\, he is dealing with geomorphology and hydrography analysis to derive high-accuracy flow estimation. He is daily dealing with high-resolution data in the context of complex and modern modelling techniques using stand-alone implementation processes under Linux environment. He uses open-source programming language and software (GRASS\, R\, PYTHON\, GNUPLOT\, AWK\, BASH\, QGIS\, OPENEV\, CDO) to accomplish large data processing in cluster processing keeping always in mind the ecological and geophysical aspects of the research study. He supports the use of open-source for geocomputation and machine learning modelling giving dedicated courses using (and maintaining) the www.spatial-ecology.net web page. \nREGISTER & LIVESTREAM HERE!

SUMMARY:Seminar Digital Twins for Earth Sciences: How to prepare your infrastructure?
DESCRIPTION:Destination Earth\nDestination Earth (DestinE) aims to develop – on a global scale – a highly accurate digital model of the Earth to monitor and predict the interaction between natural phenomena and human activities. DestinE will unlock the potential of digital modeling of the Earth system at a level that represents a real breakthrough in terms of accuracy\, detail\, access-to-information\, speed and interactivity. \nThrough the unprecedented observation and simulation capabilities of DestinE\, empowered by  a 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. \nChallenges for researchers\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 analyze this data for innovative research? Which infrastructures are already available and what is lacking? \nThis seminar brings together interested parties to discuss these questions and build the collaborations needed to prepare the Dutch research community for DestinE. \nFor whom\nResearchers\, Program managers\, IT support\, Data scientists \nOrganization\nThis seminar is organized by SURF in cooperation with the Netherlands Space Office (NSO). \nProgram\n\n\n\nTime\nSubject\n\n\n\n\n10:30 – 11:00\nWalk in\n\n\n11:00 – 11:10\nWelcome at SURF\n\n\n11:10 – 11:45\nKeynote:\nWilco Hazeleger (UU)\n\n\n11:45 – 12:10\nRaymond Sluiter (NSO)\nDestination Earth & Earth Observation Infrastructures\n\n\n12:10 – 12:35\nFemke Vossepoel (TUD)\nDigital Twins for safe and sustainable Delta development in a changing Climate\n\n\n12:35 – 13:35\nLunch\n\n\n13:35 – 14:00\nTBD\n\n\n14:00 – 14:10\nHaili Hu\, Raymond Oonk (SURF)\nWorking together with SURF for Earth Sciences\n\n\n14:10 – 15:10\nBreak out session / Futuring\n\n\n15:10 – 15:30\nBreak\n\n\n15:30 – 15:55\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 – 16:30\nKeynote:\nThomas Geenen (ECMWF)\n\n\n16:30 – 17:30\nClosing and drinks

SUMMARY:Global Land Use and Land Cover Monitoring: Main Products and Major Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:About:\n\nAs the global population grows\, humankind continues to modify the land use and land cover (LULC) of the planet mainly motivated by the increasing demand for food and commodities production.  \nIn the last 50 years\, about 17% of land use on the Earth’s surface has changed\, an unprecedented conversion of natural landscapes modifying climate regimes\, reducing biodiversity and contributing to the overall global warming. This process has been under close monitoring for many decades through satellites orbiting the Earth (e.g. Landsat-8\, Sentinel-2\, PROBA-V)\, responsible for frequently delivering updated image data on a global scale. Thanks to the recent advances in Machine Learning\, high processing/cloud computing and remote sensing have allowed multiple research institutes to transform this large imagery archive into LULC mapping products\, contributing to a better understanding of the drivers behind land conversion and their impacts on the global environment. \nIn this discussion panel\, you will learn more about the main LULC products produced by the World Resource Institute\, the University of Maryland and Wageningen University\, including their methodology\, characteristics\, applicability\, limitations as well future perspectives. During the discussion\, the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions and make comments on specific topics. \nFollow the live stream with: \n\nMonitoring the pulse of the planet’s land and its nature-based carbon – Fred Stolle (World Resources Institute)\nGlobal land cover change and human impact on natural land – Matthew Hansen (University of Maryland)\nAdvancements in European efforts in global land cover mapping and map updating – Dainius Masiliunas and Nandika Tsenbazar (Wageningen University and Research)\n\nGeneral information:\n\nThis discussion forum is free-of-costs and can be followed in person or  via Teams’ streaming service;\nTo follow the live stream\, register on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/global-land-use-and-land-cover-monitoring-main-productsmajor-perspectives-tickets-344785862797\nThe event is organized by the OpenGeoHub foundation in collaboration with Wageningen University;\nAfter the discussion panel\, we invite the participants to join the Happy Hour at the Spot bar (Orion building\, ground floor).

SUMMARY:Biodiversity: how big is our global biodiversity debt and what can we do about it?
DESCRIPTION:OpenGeoHub Science seminar series 2021\nAccording to climate-expert prof. Johan Rockström\, human-induced critical loss of biodiversity on land and in oceans is one of the biggest modern-time risks of leading to global ecosystem instability. Loss of biodiversity\, especially in the Tropics\, is one of the 9 tipping points of irreversible climate change and life quality degradation on our planet. We have only a few decades to reverse the negative trends and start valuing biodiversity realistically. i.e. using financial damages and risks also affecting the next generations. But how to measure biodiversity and what is our global biodiversity debt? How much can we learn from the further and closer past? Two biodiversity scientists from the University of Amsterdam and Leiden join us to discuss their discoveries with modelling species dynamics through time using historic data and biogeography. \nRegistration via Eventbrite. \nProgramme:\n15:00–15:20: Introduction to the topic/questionnaire: “what is our (human) global biodiversity debt?”\n15:20–15:50: “Biodiversity: some lessons from the last 100k years” by Dr. Kenneth Rijsdijk\, Universiteit van Amsterdam\n\nIt is long known that the present-day distribution of species (biodiversity) is shaped by geological forces such as mountain formation and drifting of the continents that separated species over millions of years. Also it is well known that present day distributions of plants and animals\, including us\, are the effect of more recent migrations\, be it active (humans) or randomly (seeds). Only recently\, we discovered that sea level fluctuations forced by natural climatic change cycles acting over 100\,000 yrs played a major part in the distribution of organisms across our planet. This research contributes to our understanding of how much change species naturally endured – if we know the baseline rate of natural change\, we can compare it with rates of change induced by humans; and evaluate whether the present-time biota would be able to keep up. \n  \nKenneth is assistant professor at the BIOMAC Research Group of IBED University of Amsterdam. His research is focused on the dynamics of abiotic processes that shape the earth’s surface and affect biota. He is especially interested in how environmental processes affect landscapes and ecosystems.  \nRecent publications: \nRijsdijk\, K.F.\, Hengl\, T.\, Norder\, S.J.\, Otto\, R.\, Emerson\, B.C.\, Ávila\, S.P.\, López\, H.\, van Loon\, E.E.\, Tjørve\, E. and Fernández‐Palacios\, J.M.\, (2014).

Frontiers of Biogeography. \n\n15:50–16:20: “Global hotspots of biological and cultural diversity: exploring the parallels between biogeography & geolinguistics” by Dr. Sietze Norder\, Universiteit Leiden\n\nPlanet Earth houses a fascinating and abundant diversity in terms of plant- and animal species\, as well as in human cultures. Surprisingly\, hotspots of biological and cultural diversity are often found in similar locations. A better understanding of the environmental and societal drivers underlying these patterns is urgent because global biocultural diversity is severely threatened. Species are currently going extinct at rates which largely exceed long-term background rates. The same is true for cultures: the global variation in languages for example\, one aspect of cultural diversity\, is declining rapidly as well. In this talk\, SIetze will discuss the spatial distribution of bio- and cultural diversity\, their drivers\, and how an integrated perspective could provide opportunities for their conservation. \n  \n  \nSietze studies how patterns of biological and cultural diversity have been shaped by interactions between climate\, topography\, and ecology. While he has a background in biogeography\, he is now a postdoctoral researcher at the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics where he applies methods and theories from biogeography to patterns of human cultural diversity and migration. He has recently published a book on island biodiversity called: “The World in Miniature” (currently only available in Dutch; an English summary is available here). \nRecent publications: \nNorder\, S.J.

SUMMARY:The climate-crisis and the future of our planet: a fact-checking session
DESCRIPTION:Prepared by: Tom Hengl (OpenGeoHub) and Ichsani Wheeler (OpenGeoHub)\nVenue: Speakers Corner\, IMPULSE (how to get to IMPULSE)\nTime: 15:30 uur tot 18:30 uur\nTarget groups: researchers\, start-ups\, global data providers\nInvitations: ESG mailing list\, MSc / PhD level students \nRationale\nFrom the extensive fires in Australia to the melting of glaciers and Antarctica’s ice\, it appears that global warming is happening even faster than we may have anticipated2. Could it get even worse and can we save the planet by buying an electric car\, installing solar panels around our house and/or going vegan? Is Greta Thunberg perhaps too radical or should we become even more radical? There seems to be plenty of evidence for serious concern about the speed of crisis: after all the COPs\, with everything having been said and done\, we are still emitting more and more CO2 globally.1\,5 Could planting 1 trillion trees potentially save us from global warming? How important is the role of agriculture in mitigation of climate change (and has it been exaggerated?).7\,11 What are the best strategies for independent actions (human species) and can these be implemented without international agreements? Is the nature of the current world economy (natural resource exploitation-based for-profit liberal capitalism) basically a prolonged self-destruction?8\,9 \nRipple et al. (2019) recently published an overview of the main known trends of global ecosystem degradation and related climate-crisis. By reviewing the plots in Ripple et al. (2019) one could conclude that any business-as-usual world economy will certainly bring us to the brink of extinction. Although it seems that we potentially have all the technology and knowledge to transition to a “better”\, greener economy\, it could very well be that it will eventually require that we entirely give up on GDP growth decades (Meadows & Randers 2012). Or is there a smooth transition + adaptation path where we do not have to immediately stop flying\, driving\, farming animals\, using plastic? In the end\, we need an economy to prepare for the adaptation.3 Are there faster and more efficient solutions to address global warming and too much CO2 in the atmosphere? And how can we establish an objective system that tracks and reports on the status of the environment without too much controversy?4\,6 \nThe presenters will challenge participants to do some fact-checking to see how environmental- / climate-crisis-aware they are. Presentations will take cca 30 minutes after which the floor will be open for questions and discussion. \nDiscussion points: \n\n\nHow accurate is your knowledge of the environmental-/climate-crisis and global warming? \n\n\nIs Australia soon going to all burn up? \n\n\nWhat are the currently known\, best-bet solutions and strategies for mitigating global warming and similar environmental degradation problems? \n\n\nWould planting 1 trillion trees by itself solve the global warming problem? \n\n\nHow can we all contribute (locally\, regionally\, globally) to preventing massive extinction of species in the future (including humans!)? \n\n\n\nProgramme:\n\n\n15:30–16:00: (I. Wheeler) Fact-checking: how good is your knowledge of environmental-/climate-crisis? (30 min)\, \n\n\n16:00–16:30: (L.
