TEMPO data are here!

Launched in April 2023, TEMPO data allows scientists to study pollution from rush-hour traffic, forest fires and volcanoes, how pollution differs from neighborhood to neighborhood, health impacts of pollution and more. https://t.co/PryLKyATet 🚗 🌋 🔥

presentar con @betolink y los otros oradores fue un placer!

[Beto @betolink]

Super bonito haber estado en México participando en el coloquio #EspacioYSostenibilidad organizado por las misiones ICESat-2 y GEDI de la NASA!

[Rachel Wegener @rwegener2]

Such an exciting new technology! I'm looking forward to exploring the new opportunities that are unlocked 🚀

[Ryan Abernathey @rabernat]

We're looking for folks to join the @EarthmoverHQ private beta. Details in the blog post below. Reach out if you're interested!

@aravindEO is one of my all-time favorite sources of earth observation perspective — would absolutely recommend!

[Aravind 🌍 🛰 @aravindEO]

Some of you asked me why I continue to provide analysis and insights on Earth observation for free. Here's why:

I have a strong belief that any foundational knowledge (like a basic understanding of the Earth observation market) should be free and openly accessible.

[Rachel Wegener @rwegener2]

Looking forward to this soon! I'm excited to get to present with as thoughtful of an engineer as JP.

[Aimee Barciauskas @yayyyimee]

H5Coro (HDF5 Cloud-Optimized Read-Only) is making HDF cool again. HDF was not designed for the cloud but H5Coro optimizations make reading HDF in the cloud really fast.

Join the @ESIPfed Cloud Cluster Aug 28 with @rwegener2 and JP Swinski to learn more! https://t.co/pQa1zlI3PQ

This is very good news from @NASAEarthData

NASA has a new Earth Data Officer to drive policies and infrastructure that unlock value from NASA's massive earth data. Role centers around:
* open source science
* enabling decision makers & policymakers make science-based decisions
