The RIESGOS internationl cooperation project held its kickoff at the DLR German Remote Sensing Data Center in Oberpfaffenhofen last week. The aim of the project is to better understand and be able to predict interdependencies during major emergencies. 52°North helps to develop a prototype of a multi-risk information system for the Andean region in Chile, Ecuador and Peru.
52°North is proud to announce the winners of this year’s Student Innovation Challenge. Norwin Roosen and Jan van Zadelhoff both received first prizes for their work on exploring the link between IoT and Sensor Web technology.more >
The 4th ODIP II workshop took place at the Marine Institute, in Galway, Ireland last week. International project partners met with other domain and technical experts to discuss and progress the various project activities that support the development of a common global framework for marine data management.
Last week, international researchers met to discuss recent mathematical developments in risk modeling. 52°North’s Dr. Ben Gräler demonstrated the use of local spatial and spatio-temporal vine copulas to model extreme environmental phenomena.more >
