Geofolio

Geofolio makes the world's environmental data accessible and understandable for everyone. By @kokoalberti, for everyone who prefers an atlas over a data portal.

Lots of Geofolio updates: File upload to define an area of interest, more landcover data from 1992-2000, upstream watersheds in the hydrology section, and Copernicus DEM is now the default DEM, with SRTM and Alos World also available! Try it at https://t.co/ZHsZRamj1u

Off to #FOSS4G Firenze by way of Rotterdam, Brussels, Paris, and Torino. Haha getting those Interrail vibes from another life. Also first time and don't know anyone, let me know if you want to hang out. Doing a short talk on @geofolio on Wednesday 4.45 PM https://t.co/NHhl2L0rpZ

Whoops landcover data should be until 2020 of course.

Let me know if things are not working as expected or other features you'd like to see. It's a work in progress. More updates and improvements to follow in the coming weeks/months.

Tomorrow (Oct 10) I'll be at @NLSpaceOffice Earth Observation, Science & Society Symposium in The Hague peddling a @geofolio poster. Try it out at https://t.co/3nZumMv6lD and come have a chat if you're interested! #eo3s

@Alexander_Lees @peakdistrict @JoSmithDWT @TimBirchWild @moorsman Thanks for trying Geofolio! Let me know if there are things not working or other features you'd like to see. It's a work in progress and still looking for collaborations & funding to keep working on it.

[Geofolio @geofolio]

@LaurenGilhooly_ Thanks for the positive vibes! Also don't forget to double check data from global datasets when using it for serious applications or for small areas. Hope the references section will point to on the right path. Let me know if there's other stuff you'd like to see.

[Geofolio @geofolio]

@imolnar Let me know how it goes or if you've got things you'd like to see in future versions. Feedback very welcome!

[Geofolio @geofolio]

@hammerheadbat @qgis Yes these are definetely on my list, thanks for the feedback! Would be nice to be able to drag and drop a georeferenced file in there and have it go...

Introducing GEOFOLIO ✨ Create interactive thematic factsheets for any place on Earth. Based on open (geo)data, with lots of maps, charts, and downloads. Side project by @kokoalberti, try it out at https://t.co/ZHsZRamj1u.

[Geofolio @geofolio]

@TanyaLGallagher Anything smaller than 10,000 sq. km. should work. Things can get a busy sometimes, and I'm still working out some performance kinks in the first couple of days. Hope it works for you now!

[Geofolio @geofolio]

Well it's just water, no?😬 Jokes aside but you're right, thanks for a different perspective. Might start with coastal stuff and then come and ask you about oceans when I get there!

[Margaret Spring @_MargaretSpring]

@kokoalberti @geofolio Cool tool! Where’s the ocean information? 71% of the planet, etc etc .. 🌊 😀

[Geofolio @geofolio]

@GSouchay There are so many datasets out there with climate data. Varying quality, resolution, some only for Africa/EU, others global, etc. Current 'basic' factsheet is a proof of concept with a bit of everything, so was hoping to build a climate factsheet with detailed climate data later.

[Geofolio @geofolio]

@AgroBioDiverse @kokoalberti @GenesysPGR I'm hoping to add more detailed factsheets later about themes like climate change, energy, or agriculture. Maybe something like this will be more at home in an agriculture factsheet, will add it to my notes for that.

[Geofolio @geofolio]

@AgroBioDiverse @kokoalberti @GenesysPGR This is a little bit outside my area of expertise, but that's the fun begins I guess! What sort of data is it and what is it used for? I think it might be too specific at this time though for the current basic factsheet.

[Geofolio @geofolio]

@okansas @qgis Thanks for the tip, dataset was not my list yet but will add it. Have been looking into a 'demographics' type of section where this would fit in nicely.

[Geofolio @geofolio]

Future Plans: Tell us! Download all data in a factsheet as a ready-made @qgis project? Upload a file to define an area? In-depth thematic factsheets about climate change, water resources, agriculture? More datasets, better visualizations? What do you think is needed? Let's talk.

[Geofolio @geofolio]

How: Data processing on AWS, mostly Lambda and S3. Would have been completely impossible possible without open geospatial tools and data. What a community: #GDAL @PostGIS @qgis @ESA_EO @esaclimate @CopernicusEU @NASA_Landsat @OpenTopography @mapbox #builtwithmapbox @LeafletJS
