Democratising data: how improving Big Data accessibility is helping to protect crucial ecosystems Increasing the value and use of Big Data is a big topic in the information age. This article outlines how accessibility is being addressed, highlighting the different ways in which PML is optimising u

🔓 #BigData unlocked: New tools like the #OpenDataCube are helping scientists turn enormous #satellite archives (that is, petabytes of #SatelliteData) into maps that track ecosystems, #WaterQuality & #CarbonStores. Here’s how better access to big data can protect our planet: pml.ac.uk/news/democra...

✈️ Flying into NZ for #FOSS4G @foss4g.org - couldn't help but nerd out on all the beautiful tidal flats that surround Auckland.

Here's a quick #DEAIntertidal tidal flat elevation map of Auckland’s Manukau Harbour, generated using #opensource code + satellite data loaded via #OpenDataCube and #STAC!

New blog. In Praise of the Digital Earth Africa Sandbox. Its back! A very good place to learn to work with Earth observation data and Python.

h/t the folks over at #OpenDataCube for quickly kicking the tyres and reporting the bugs! Appreciate it! 🙇

I believe this has already been integrated into the latest version of #OpenDataCube! 🌐🚀

Historically, many of our stakeholders have had issues with #GEE algorithms and data sources changing behind the scenes without warning, which is particularly tricky for government use. So #OpenDataCube can help make sure those works are fully transparent and reproducible from start to finish!

If you've ever been frustrated by trying to access data from satellites like #Landsat or #Sentinel2, tune into our very first #OpenDataCube community talk next week by Caitlin Adams: how to easily load satellite data for anywhere on the planet using the #OpenSource #odcstac Python package! 🛰️🚀

Off to Kista to talk #OpenDataCube, #remotesensing, #Copernicus & the Swedish Space Data Lab with the Swedish National Space Agency #Rymdstyrelsen and RISE
