We've got a great lineup at @sat_summit this year. Looking forward to seeing everyone!
Vizzuality’s @fgassert will host the @sat_summit’s Sept 29 discussion on recent developments & innovation in forest monitoring with @UofMaryland’s @lauraduncanson, @picterra’s Pascal van Dalen, @satelligence’s @rensmasselink & @WorldResources’ Fred Stolle. bit.ly/3E11Taz
maybe I’m naïve but I think a big part of this is due to chasing growth rather than cultivating the true value of the company
Planet tried this of course and walked it back. Their mistake was only releasing california and the sharealike license, which is like limiting the free tier of your SaaS to non-profits in CA. Release a single year of global coverage and everyone will want to try building a 3m map
Anyway, if you find this useful, input on API, docs, and examples is welcome!

I made this because I couldn’t do exactly what I needed with xarray. (Though in the months its taken be to write some docs, stackstac’s come a long way, so you might want to check it out instead stackstac.readthedocs.io/)
It’s basically a wrapper around @_VincentS_'s rio_tiler that takes advantage of the magic of cloud optimized geotiffs
I wrote a simple python lib for GIS analysis on COGs.
- Combine datasets in different scales & projections
- Preview results
- Chunk analysis and run in a Dask cluster

this is great! though xarray is limited in requiring your data to all be in the same projection/extent. I've been working on some tools to do scalable analysis across arbitrary data sources-- hope to share soon
We hope to help pull companies from the inside, empowering internal advocates & sustainability professionals
Please reach out if you want to know more!
We see this as building on and complimenting the work we've done together with our NGO partners & clients. Projects like @TraseEarth create transparency and shape how companies think about supply chains
Excited to share that we're branching out to work on food chain sustainability at @Vizzuality. Reducing impacts isn't simple, but we have a bunch of ideas that we think will make it easier for corporate leaders to plot a path to a sustainable future
We can't solve climate change without sustainable food. To help companies manage these risks and meet #sustainability targets, we’re partnering with @SatelligenceEO & @SEIresearch to build new tools. landgriffon.com

I'll be talking about disasters and climate change in the Pacific with @PhaseZeroNA next Wednesday

How much does foreign oil matter to US energy security? Not very much.

This chart was what got me interested in @WorldResources ten years ago. Nice to see it updated!

Climate change will change the resources and countries world economies depend on. The US is not prepared
