Interesting plot by @NOAA of what the hottest year on record (2023) meant in terms of an increase in the number of natural disasters and damaged caused. Most notable the steep increase in severe storms.

Good to see there‘s a session on AI&climate risk at #GoogleCloudNext .

[Philippe Raisin @prraisin]

Look forward to day #2 at #GoogleCloudNext . Let me know if you´re in town.

@GreenwichCycle This is fantastic. I use the Greenwich to London Bridge route everyday.

[Philippe Raisin @prraisin]

Great episode.

[NewSpaceVision @NewSpaceVision]

New episode with @reflexaerospace's CEO Walter Ballheimer. Spoiler alert - it's really good. Listen here:

Cool feature & useful to do quick previews directly in Source!
Worked well with the Google-Microsoft BFs https://t.co/RKs0BtigbO :)

Cool slide from @jedsundwall´s talk during #FOSS4GNA showing how quickly the open source building footprint dataset we´ve published on @source_coop a few weeks ago was picked up.
Shows the power of open access data & having a capable platform like @source_coop for distribution.

[ingenieroariel @ingenieroariel]

@kylebarron2 I tried lonboard today with 22 million Ugandan buildings (VIDA/source coop) and ... it worked!

[Iffanice Houndayi @lynxyhyundai]

#EO and #GIS enthusiasts working with #buildings #footprints, check out this (most) extensive dataset combining Microsoft and Google building footprints enabling better coverage and geospatial analysis/viz at scale!

Check out this awesome map using our merged building footprints dataset streamed directly from @source_coop! 🚀

@willnorman @googlemaps @TfL @Google This is useful. I´ve been using @Citymapper to find the quieter routes, but it´s good that the routes are available in as many platforms as possible.

[Philippe Raisin @prraisin]

Thanks @Space4Europe , the support we have received by ESA early on has been crucial for our success so far! I can recommend the Business applications programme for any space start-up.

[ESA Space Solutions @Space4Europe]

✨ A successful ESA-backed demonstration project by German company @VIDAplace has attracted €3 million of investment from Cusp Capital. VIDA’s solution, originally developed under the @ESA Business Applications programme, uses satellite-enabled software to accelerate sustainable infrastructure investment and impact management. The funding will enable VIDA to scale its operations, expand its product offering and build its presence in key markets worldwide.
