The #OpenEarthMonitor Global Workshop has been held at EURAC Research institute in Bolzano, Italy from 4–6 October 2023. This is a short summary (see below) with 12 key takeaways and predictions of what to expect in 2024. @[email protected] #EuroGeo2023

The next Open-Earth-Monitor Global Workshop 2024 will be hosted at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Laxenburg, Austria in the period 30 September to 4 October 2024. More info soon.

You can also access all OpenLandMap layers using the oemc-qgis-plugin -> simply drag and drop layers into your QGIS session. The beta version of this application relies on open-source libraries like #PySTAC and #STAC client for future implementation, such as doing a search based on the metadata and attributes of the data layers. https://github.com/Open-Earth-Monitor/oemc-qgis-plugin

With the help of GILAB.rs and partners from the #OpenEarthMonitor project, we have just released V2 of the #OpenLandMap global data portal. It now runs on COGs and uses #STAC catalog to find and access information. We will spend next 12+ months adding TBs of #opendata at 30-100 m spatial resolution. Some exciting new datasets include global land cover 30-m GLC_FCS30D (1985-2022), monthly FAPAR, Sentinel-5P monthly tropospheric nitrogen dioxide density... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPiS8iVelhI

4/4: This package has been developed under the
#OpenEarthMonitor project
. For a comprehensive understanding of its capabilities, please refer to the package documentation and examples here: https://github.com/Open-Earth-Monitor/zen/

We are processing global 1997-2022+ Landsat images to produce complete, consistent, current & correct (cloud-free) mosaics per continent & globally. Our interest is primarily in monthly / bimonthly values, then we plan to use these to quantify vegetation, map pasture types, crops / land cover, tillage intensity, dynamic soil properties and similar.

Video recordings 📹 of the #OpenEarthMonitor Global Workshop 🌍 "Connecting open EO solutions to boost European and global goals", 4-6 October 2023 at Eurac Research are now out (as #OpenAccess #OpenScience ).

We are grateful to Eurac Research / Institute for Earth Observation for hosting this event and to 🇪🇺 @[email protected] #HorizonEU for funding.

Land degradation is a global challenge threatening functioning of ecosystems. We applied the Potential Natural Vegetation (PNV) modeling approach to the GLASS FAPAR V6 time-series dataset to derive a new baseline reference of monthly PNV FAPAR, and long-term trends in FAPAR.
Method and key results applied are available in: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-3415685/v1. The monthly FAPAR data and long-term trend (1.4 TB) is available as #OpenData via https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8381409; #OpenEarthMonitor

So happy to see all colleagues from #OpenEarthMonitor project and other sister projects, here at EURAC Bolzano. Always too little time to discuss all new R&I sparks. Stay tuned for video-recordings of all sessions and materials which should appear online as open access content in coming weeks. @REA_research #openEO #ESA

Videos from our #OpenGeoHubSummerSchool 2023 are now available for watching (uncut version). Edited / shortened videos and interviews with lecturers will appear on av.tib.eu in the weeks to come. #rstat #geospatial #MachineLearning #OpenEarthMonitor https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXUoTpMa_9s1C8LrkslIctOU31Oi0LAQa
