Sessions
The lecture will address how we analyse Earth Observation data
Today, local or cloud-based, and how we ended up in the current
situation. It will also address to which extent cloud platforms
are built on open source software, and how the Earth Observation
community can continue working towards a scientific practice that
is sustainable, FAIR, and that complies to open science requirements.
The workshop will repeat some theory about what multidimensional
arrays are in computer science as well as in R and Python, and
discuss how they can be used for solving Earth Observations problems.
In particular it will discuss the use of arrays for time series
data, for spatial data (raster maps, stacks of raster maps), for
spatiotemporal data (time series of raster maps or stacks), and for
time series of feature (point or polygon) data (vector data cubes).
All will be illustrated by examples in R and Python, in parallel.
Examples will be (mostly) reproducible by participants.
