mVIZ @ EGU20

Supporting Users to Find Appropriate Visualizations of Spatio-Temporal Open Data Sets

In order to facilitate efficient and user-friendly exploration of available data sets, it is essential to visualize the data as quickly and easily as possible. Selecting appropriate visualization approaches for potentially highly-dynamic spatio-temporal data sets is still a challenge. At the recent EGU2020: Sharing Geoscience Online, members of the mVIZ consortium introduced a methodology to support the selection and creation of user-friendly visualizations for data discoverable via the open data portals such as the mCLOUD.

Cos4Cloud @ EGU20

Design and Development of Interoperable Cloud Sensor Services to Support Citizen Science Projects

Citizen Observatories are becoming an increasingly popular source of input data in many scientific domains. During the recent EGU2020: Sharing Geoscience Online, Simon Jirka (52°North) presented the ideas behind the European H2020 project Cos4Cloud (Co-designed citizen observatories for the EOS-Cloud). The project aims at providing re-usable services for setting up Citizen Observatories based on the European Open Science (EOS) Cloud. In particular, it will use interoperability standards such as the the Open Geospatial Consortium’s (OGC) Sensor Observation Service (SOS), SensorThings API and Observations and Measurements (O&M).

Copernicus Data Infrastructure NRW

Efficient processing of Copernicus satellite and in situ data

During the recent EGU2020: Sharing Geoscience Online, Arne de Wall (52°North) presented results of the pilot project. The project developed a Copernicus infrastructure node largely based on cloud technologies (i.a. Docker, Kubernetes) for the state North Rhine-Westphalia’s common Spatial Data Infrastructure.

The Earth Observation Time Series Analysis Toolbox (EOTSA)

An R package with WPS, Web-Client and Spark integration

Ulrich Leopold (Luxembourg Institue of Science and Technology) and Benedikt Gräler (52°North) recently presented results of the EOTSA project during the EGU2020: Sharing Geoscience Online.

This project was initiated to ease the access and analysis of data provided by the PROBA-V mission exploitation platform (MEP) at the Flemish Institute for Technology & Research (VITO). Project partners developed the toolbox according to the needs of the time series analysis community.
