Here's your chance to share your work, art, tips or apps to a global audience. All are welcome! Each talk is only 3 minutes long. Check out the video recording if you missed our session.
Our lightning talks in order:
Dawn Nekorchuk: Forecasting Malaria: Using GEE Environmental Data in the EPIDEMIA System
The EPIDEMIA system is a long-running project with public health officials in the Amhara region of Ethiopia to forecast malaria. We are currently using GEE to download environmental data to use in the modeling. We are also now looking to scale to all regions in Ethiopia.
Andrea Hess: Mapping building density with PlanetScope imagery
I study malaria risk factors in the Amhara region in Ethiopia. For my study area I don't have reliable population data, so I classified buildings as an approximate measure of population density. I used PlanetScope imagery at a spatial resolution of 3m to classify buildings and to create a building density index.
Qiusheng Wu: Using the geemap Python package for interactive mapping with Earth Engine
This talk will introduce the geemap Python package and its key functions for doing interactive mapping with Earth Engine. More information about geemap can be found at https://github.com/giswqs/geemap and https://www.youtube.com/c/QiushengWu
Rich Boothroyd: Active river channel change in tropical rivers
We focus on approaches to look beyond mapping wet river channel extents and instead map the wider riverscape (i.e. water, sediment, vegetation) and its dynamics. Examples will be given from several tropical rivers in the Philippines.
Slides pending
Tirthankar ‘TC’ Chakraborty: Estimating COVID-19 presence at fine resolutions in the US
I will discuss some of the work I am doing on the Yale COVID-19 mapping project. Of these, I will focus on a couple of web apps displaying possible COVID-19 presence at less than 100 m x 100 m resolution for the US and the Connecticut, respectively, implemented on Google Earth Engine.
Cristina Vrînceanu: Mapping pollution during the COVID-19 epidemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has given us the chance to map different phenomena rapid changes including impact over the economic activity, mobility or the environment. All these are reflected in daily fluctuations of pollution levels and satellite data can help monitor them efficiently, prompting to a wealth of new possibilities in easily visualizing this data and drawing fast preliminary conclusions. In this talk, I will explore on how changes in pollution levels can be visualized using Sentinel-5P data and what quick insights we can get from this data.
Keiko Nomura: How to publish your map online
I will show a few apps I made so far. Nothing fancy but simple to use, copy and paste
Sunita Yadav: Evaluating reference data needs
Slides and Video are confidential.
Carlos Riano: Support of GEE to analyse land use change and deforestation for national governments
