Brendan Farrell of Clockwork Micro will share observations from his year working in GIS in Paris. He’ll discuss open data, the IGN (French equivalent of the USGS) and one of his favorites: Le Salon International de l’Agriculture.
Karsten Vennemann will showcase a web-based Land Evaluation Tool designed to assess land suitability for cultivating crops such as maize, cassava, and cotton in Northern Benin and Northern Ghana. This tool is an integral component of the DeClaRe project (“Decision Support for Strengthening Land Resilience in the Face of Global Challenges”). DeClaRe is an interdisciplinary agricultural science initiative, and this tool contributes to a broader decision support system (DSS) aimed at enhancing land use, management, and policy development.
Keenan Ganz will demo NASA’s earthaccess package, a Python API for querying and downloading remote sensing products. We will also talk about strategies for working with large geospatial datasets in Python.
Anyone is invited to share (their own or news about any interesting) small or large geospatial projects. As always any geo-questions are encouraged and will gladly be discussed within the group.
