05 September 2024 – London – Earth-i is attending The National Earth Observation Conference 2024 takes place in York from 10-12 September 2024 and the Earth-i team will be there in force for all three days!
The conference will bring together the UK Earth Observation community across research, government and industry, providing a unique opportunity to engage with key stakeholders and leaders in the sector.
Our Head of Institutional Engagement, Chetan Pradhan and Earth-i director, Owen Hawkins will be presenting work on the EO Data Hub Project and we would encourage everyone to come along and listen.
Below is the abstract from the Erath-i presentation:
Earth Observation from Space is inherently a global activity. Its distributed nature results in a challenge to government bodies used to supplying certain services free-at-the-point of use, as often the assets which are in demand are controlled by other nations and/or companies. No country has the luxury where all its required assets or data sources are owned directly, plus each country has needs driven by its unique geographical circumstances. It would also be highly inefficient for every country to implement similar space infrastructures and there is no easy way to make public others’ space infrastructures. Therefore, in parallel to any national space endeavours, to fill the gaps that remain, there is a need to: first source the required data to answer pressing questions; and second adapt these data sources to the specific challenges at hand. Doing so presents various technical, commercial, legal and scientific barriers which must be considered.
There are analogies from other sectors from which we can learn, and solutions such as the Earth Observation Data Hub (EODH), which seek to reduce or remove the barriers to entry and avoid the duplication of data stores and systems. Here we present the barriers, analogies and solutions to inform the ongoing development of UK EO infrastructure and services. We also will share Planet and Earth-i’s contributions to the ongoing implementation of the EODH.
