Soil Health Data Cube (#SHDC) has just been updated (to v1.1)! Dynamic soil properties and soil health indicators at 30 m resolution 2000-2024 for pan-EU as #OpenData. Several issues in data and front-end have been systematically improved (thanks to many colleagues from @AI4SoilHealth project and various national agencies). You can access the updated data from https://t.co/WdYqavuPNJ and explore via https://t.co/ujKqq5ITQf (webinar: https://t.co/JljTClXbnf). For technical documentation see: https://t.co/JIBCLq25kU.

It is now also possible to visualize prediction intervals (uncertainty) and overlay SHDC vs various national cadastral and admin data with many thanks to the @GilabRs and colleagues from the @EarthMonitorOrg project.

Read more about how were the soil health indicators produced (https://t.co/aWKjjkEg6T), including soil carbon dynamics (https://t.co/2GVbbW1kUY). Projects funded by @REA_research Horizon Europe.

If you are at #EUAgriFoodDays in Brussels (https://t.co/eVjPVlKDmw), come to the AI 4 Soil Health stand on Wednesday 17th Dec (Day 3 – Agri-Digital Day) and get a walk through - how can you easily access the SHDC data and how could you use it to help manage land? Which soil agronomy data is still missing and what should we add to SHDC in 2026?

We had an excellent conference at Perugia @EarthMonitorOrg Global Workshop 2025 kindly co-hosted by @UniperugiaNews and @CNR_IRPI . If you missed it, we video-recorded 📼 all talks: https://t.co/EFYEuGrltm
Topics covered include: #OpenEO #CDSE #Copernicus monitoring of #deforestation Big vector and gridded data, workshops in #Python data fusion in climate science, hydrology & novel global #soil data sets...

🚧 some videos (3-4) unfortunately due to technical problems have poor video/audio quality. 2026 Global Workshop is coming to: Barcelona / to be hosted by @CREAF_ecologia !

The https://t.co/NSp7QJVMZz project has received funding from the @REA_research / Horizon Europe.

🚀 Today, we officially launch the Open Geospatial Carbon Registry (OGCR) in Doorwerth! 🌍
Our mission: build an open, transparent, and farmer-friendly carbon registry for Europe.

🚨 Have you registered yet?
The Open-Earth-Monitor Global Workshop 2025 is coming to Perugia, Italy – September 17–19 – and seats are filling up fast!

For three days, we’ll bring together researchers, policy-makers, innovators, and students to explore how open data and open-source monitoring tools are helping address Europe’s most urgent environmental challenges — from droughts and floods to biodiversity loss and wildfire risk.

💡 Why join?
🔹30+ real-life use cases from the Open-Earth-Monitor Consortium
🔹Hands-on workshops with leading Earth Observation experts
🔹Networking and special sessions for early-career researchers and students

📍 Hosted at the University of Perugia’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

We are adding some 110TB of analysis-ready data to https://t.co/ujKqq5ITQf (all cloud-optimized as COGs or PMTiles). The upgraded system includes dynamic soil properties "Soil Health Data Cube" part of the @AI4SoilHealth and @EarthMonitorOrg projects, bimonthly time-series of biophysical indices (https://t.co/aWKjjkEg6T), including the vegetation height annual (https://t.co/u46wVCJzU1) and #soilcarbon density predictions (https://t.co/lPaBRFT9Qe).

We are focusing on preparing high resolution (10-30 m) data for 2000-2024 so that you can run various time of time-series analysis and monitor changes across pan-EU.

We have also added the field boundaries for pan-EU (https://t.co/O3E0UTNHW0) and number of vector layers using PMTiles format. See if you can locate actual fields and visualize long-term trends.

All data is available as open data via STAC (https://t.co/LSvxMoGhw2), which means you should be able to develop computational notebooks (see some examples here: https://t.co/UbtJUG46bx) even on your laptop (assuming you only need to analyze local data).

Next mission: add all major pan-EU data sets from the EU Environmental Agency and the Copernicus Land Monitoring Services and further integrate data so analysis becomes even more seamless. Next major release is planned for September 2025 and should include monthly products and data updated up to 2024.

Many thanks to @GilabRs for the front-end implementation and all other partners on the EU Science, Research and Innovation projects @EarthMonitorOrg and @AI4SoilHealth

❗️📄Abstract submission is now open!

🎉🌏After 3 successful Global Workshops the @EarthMonitorOrg project is hosting the 4th Global Workshop! We are bringing together key Open EO data and software developers to discuss how we can together speed up uptake of Earth Observation data for environmental monitoring and applications (🔗🧑‍💻recordings from the previous GW's are available at: https://t.co/pBpzovVPE0).

🗓️When?
17-19th September 2025

📍Where?
Faculty of Engineering, Belgrade University, Belgrade, Serbia

🧑‍💻📊 To be part of this workshop submit an abstract for oral, workshop or poster session. All proposals will be reviewed by the science committee and the best ranked proposals will be then selected.

Happy 26th birthday to GDAL ! From the first commit on 1998-10-17 from a small rural town outside of Ottawa Canada, to almost every geospatial software installation on the planet (and satellites and other planets!) in 26 years. The ultimate example of sharing & community. #foss4g
