SUMMARY:Seminar. Geospatial interoperability in the European Union: the INSPIRE Directive
DESCRIPTION:Entered into force in 2007\, the Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe (INSPIRE) aims to create a pan-European Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) to support the European Union environmental policies. INSPIRE is the largest effort ever undertaken to create an SDI and is currently seen as a worldwide reference model for similar interoperability initiatives. The infrastructure makes available resources (metadata\, data sets and services) from more than 7000 data providers from the 28 EU Member States and the 4 EFTA (European Free Trade Association) countries. The seminar will introduce the INSPIRE legal\, organizational and technical framework\, describing the role and the current initiatives of the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) for the technical coordination of INSPIRE. This will be followed by a practical\, hands-on session focused on the search\, retrieval\, validation and use of INSPIRE data using available web and GIS software applications. \nParticipants are expected to have basic experience in GIS and to be familiar with geospatial data formats (including XML/GML) and OGC standards. Participants are required to bring their own laptop with the following software installed: a browser\, the QGIS desktop GIS software\, and a text editor (e.g. Notepad++ for Windows users). \nThe speaker \nMarco Minghini took a PhD at Politecnico di Milano and is currently working as Scientific Project Officer at the European Commission – Joint Research Center. He is a GIS/SDI expert and an open source/open data advocate and user. \nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/marco-minghini/ \n

SUMMARY:Seminar. Geospatial interoperability in the European Union: the INSPIRE Directive
DESCRIPTION:Entered into force in 2007\, the Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe (INSPIRE) aims to create a pan-European Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) to support the European Union environmental policies. INSPIRE is the largest effort ever undertaken to create an SDI and is currently seen as a worldwide reference model for similar interoperability initiatives. The infrastructure makes available resources (metadata\, data sets and services) from more than 7000 data providers from the 28 EU Member States and the 4 EFTA (European Free Trade Association) countries. The seminar will introduce the INSPIRE legal\, organizational and technical framework\, describing the role and the current initiatives of the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) for the technical coordination of INSPIRE. This will be followed by a practical\, hands-on session focused on the search\, retrieval\, validation and use of INSPIRE data using available web and GIS software applications. \nParticipants are expected to have basic experience in GIS and to be familiar with geospatial data formats (including XML/GML) and OGC standards. Participants are required to bring their own laptop with the following software installed: a browser\, the QGIS desktop GIS software\, and a text editor (e.g. Notepad++ for Windows users). \nThe speaker \nMarco Minghini took a PhD at Politecnico di Milano and is currently working as Scientific Project Officer at the European Commission – Joint Research Center. He is a GIS/SDI expert and an open source/open data advocate and user. \nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/marco-minghini/ \n

SUMMARY:Webinar: Earth Observations Data Cube (EODC): Big EO Data for Sustainable Development
DESCRIPTION:The key to sustainable development is achieving a balance between the exploitation of natural resources for socioeconomic development and maintaining ecosystem services that are critical to human’s wellbeing and livelihoods. Some of these environmental issues can be monitored using remotely sensed Earth Observations (EO) data that are increasingly available from freely and openly accessible repositories. However\, the full information potential of EO data has not been yet realized. They remain still underutilized mainly because of their complexity\, increasing volume\, and the lack of efficient processing capabilities. The EODC a new paradigm revolutionizing the way users can interact with EO data. It lowers the barrier caused by Big Data challenges (e.g.\, Volume\, Velocity\, Variety) and provides access to large spatiotemporal data in an analysis ready format. It significantly reduces the time and scientific knowledge required to access and prepare EO data having consistent and spatially aligned calibrated surface reflectance observations. We will present how the EODC can be used to monitor environmental changes across countries and can enable more effective responses to problems of national and regional significance. \nThe speaker \nGregory Giuliani is the Head of the Digital Earth Unit and Swiss Data Cube Project Leader at GRID-Geneva of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and a Senior Lecturer at the University of Geneva’s Institute for Environmental Sciences. He holds a BSc in Earth Sciences and an MSc and PhD in Environmental Sciences. Gregory’s research focuses on Land Change Science and how Earth observations can be used to monitor and assess environmental changes and support sustainable development. Interdisciplinary is a key element for generating new ideas and innovations in his research. \nThe virtual room to join \nhttps://politecnicomilano.webex.com/meet/maria.brovelli \n  \n201124Seminar_Gregory_Giuliani

It lowers the barrier caused by Big Data challenges (e.g.\, Volume\, Velocity\, Variety) and provides access to large spatiotemporal data in an analysis ready format. It significantly reduces the time and scientific knowledge required to access and prepare EO data having consistent and spatially aligned calibrated surface reflectance observations. We will present how the EODC can be used to monitor environmental changes across countries and can enable more effective responses to problems of national and regional significance. \nThe speaker \nGregory Giuliani is the Head of the Digital Earth Unit and Swiss Data Cube Project Leader at GRID-Geneva of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and a Senior Lecturer at the University of Geneva’s Institute for Environmental Sciences. He holds a BSc in Earth Sciences and an MSc and PhD in Environmental Sciences. Gregory’s research focuses on Land Change Science and how Earth observations can be used to monitor and assess environmental changes and support sustainable development. Interdisciplinary is a key element for generating new ideas and innovations in his research. \nThe virtual room to join \nhttps://politecnicomilano.webex.com/meet/maria.brovelli \n  \n201124Seminar_Gregory_Giuliani
