Despite the well-understood tools and technologies, such as cloud-optimised GeoTIFFs and the spatio-temporal asset catalog (STAC) specification, many EO professionals have not yet had the opportunity to practically apply these innovations. This workshop aims to bridge that gap by showcasing how cloud-native geospatial technologies simplify the process of working with EO data, using Python as the primary programming language. Participants will delve into a real-world case study focused on documenting land productivity metrics, a crucial component for monitoring the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicators for 15.3.1. The workshop will utilise NASA’s Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel data, accessed through Earthdata, to explore the land productivity metric in depth. Our workshop hosts, Caitlin Adams and Alex Leith, bring extensive experience from their work on large-scale cloud-native programs such as Digital Earth Africa, Digital Earth Australia, and the recently launched Digital Earth Pacific. These projects leverage petabytes of data to create valuable information products that inform decision-making processes across countries and continents. Throughout the workshop, participants will gain hands-on experience and insights into how cloud-native geospatial technologies have significantly enhanced the ability to manage and analyse large volumes of EO data. By the end of the session, attendees will have acquired practical examples and knowledge to further develop their skills in this innovative field. This tutorial is supported by the CEOS Systems Engineering Office and aims to equip participants with the tools and techniques necessary to harness the full potential of cloud-native geospatial technologies in their work.

Early in 2017 it was renamed the Open Data Cube and the technical direction of the project was progressively delegated to an increasingly independent and multi-organisation Steering Council. This initial phase of rapid development and expansion for the ODC had tapered off by about the release of 1.8.4 in August 2021. Some early design decisions proved to be innovative and trailblazing with many other open source projects subsequently adopting similar approaches. Other design decisions proved less foresighted, and as early as 2019 the Steering Council were discussing fundamental limitations that would require major architectural changes to properly address. Discussions around these limitations and the steps required to address them largely stalled until 2022 when the first draft of an ODCv2 road map was published and subsequently refined through consultation with the Steering Council and the broader ODC user community. The ODCv2 roadmap has three major areas: 1. Enhancements to the ODC index to allow faster search and more efficient indexing and easier index management; 2. Reunifying/re-aligning datacube-core with the odc-geo and odc-stac utilities 3. The ability of the Open Data Cube architecture to scale to significantly larger volumes and rates of data With a new generation of satellites on the horizon, offering faster return times, higher spatial resolution and higher spectrality (not just open access Landsat Next, but also the hyperspectral satellites) the third area quickly became an important focus of these discussions. Since the publication of the ODCv2 roadmap, work to implement it has been progressively picking up pace, at both Geoscience Australia and CSIRO. This talk will provide an overview of the history of the Open Data Cube to date, the current status of ODC development and the improvements (and migration headaches) that users can look forward to in upcoming major datacube releases.

Digital Twin's key differentiator lies in its integration of near real-time data analytics via IoT sensor connectivity, yet this potential remains largely untapped, revealing a critical gap in exploiting this technology fully. This research addresses this gap by developing a comprehensive RDT framework tailored for near real-time flood modeling. The framework integrates near real-time data streams, enabling advanced analytics and unlocking Digital Twin's true potential in flood modeling and disaster event monitoring. Key outcomes include an integrated back-end spatial database, a coupled physical city, and digital space model, along with a functional front-end flood interface. The research aligns with Gemini Principles, emphasizing data interoperability, federation, and maintaining an information feedback loop. It configures near real-time IoT sensor connections, implements event triggers, and delivers 3D visualizations in easily accessible formats. The study tackles critical questions surrounding effective integration of IoT sensor data, identification of crucial flood modeling parameters, and real-time quantification of flood event impacts. In the first part of the study, a tailored RDT framework for real-time flood modeling is developed, emphasizing IoT sensor connectivity. This framework integrates near real-time data streams to enable advanced analytics, enhancing the accuracy of flood modeling and disaster event monitoring. Key components of the framework include an integrated spatial database, a coupled physical city, and digital space model, and a functional front-end flood interface. The framework aligns with Gemini Principles, focusing on data interoperability and maintaining an information feedback loop. It enables the configuration of near real-time IoT sensor connections, event triggers, and the delivery of 3D visualizations for precise flood modeling. This research drives the application of Digital Twin technology in real-time flood modeling, ultimately enhancing disaster response strategies. In the second part of the study, an immersive interaction component is introduced to enhance the usability and effectiveness of the RDT framework. Leveraging virtual reality (VR) and game engine technologies, an immersive interface is developed to enable stakeholders to engage with the flood digital twin in a highly intuitive and interactive manner. Users can navigate virtual environments, visualize flood scenarios, and interact with simulation results in real-time. This immersive interaction component enhances stakeholder understanding of flood risks, facilitates collaborative decision-making, and strengthens community resilience. By integrating VR and game engine technologies into the RDT framework, this research expands the capabilities of flood modeling and disaster response strategies, paving the way for more effective and inclusive flood resilience initiatives.

My task revolves around delineating the coastlines based on the High-Water Mark and establishing baselines considering the exposed reefs at the Lowest Astronomical Tide. The demarcation relies on satellite imagery and remote sensing methodologies, highlighting the project's technical aspects. We source satellite imagery through Google Earth Engine and Python. Additionally, we incorporate Topographic Maps and Hydrography Charts. Our digital mapping of coastlines and baselines adheres to UNCLOS, particularly articles 5-16. The baseline is the starting point from which the various maritime zones (territorial seas, contiguous zone, EEZ, ECS and in this case the coastal waters) are measured. Adhering to UNCLOS ensures that states can exercise these rights legitimately.

The Geological Survey of PNG undertook 1:250 000 mapping of the south-west Fly Platform region of PNG not mapped since pre-independence. Due to the vast swampy wetlands, weather, climate, heavy rainfall, inaccessibility, and the shear size of the area, physical data collection by traversing and walking is very challenging. Geological interpretation of different rock types, and the contacts of different rock types, landforms, and structural faults was done wholly through the use of remote sensing data and the use of open-source software QGIS. Free radar, sentinel and DEM provided by USGS and European Space Agency were manipulated in QGIS and ArcMap to interpret landforms, rocks, and structures. Particularly band processing was done in QGIS, where swampy wetlands were better defined. Radar images provided clues of landforms characteristic of different rock types and hillshade and relief raster data processed from DEM were useful in interpreting geological structures. This concluded regional trends and structural relationships. The outcome was a pre-field geological map, from this target areas were generated to confirm interpretations made. Field mapping was helicopter-supported. While on the ground, QField, an open-source mobile software was trialed to collect data. Due to time constrains and helicopter waiting time, QField was not effectively used for data capture on the ground, however, its use was appreciated in helicopter aerial survey. Vector files of the pre-field geological map were placed in a geopackage file and viewed in real-time with moving locations seen in the air. This added confidence to interpretations made in the pre-field map and in addition, aerial mapping was done in real-time of features observed.

However, in NZ (and in Australia) much of the information from geological survey organisations have been created at a regional scale and with time, may not reflect more recent work and datasets. Furthermore, these practitioners may not have the skillsets and resource to compile more detailed mapping. In Gisborne, NZ the availability of recent LiDAR along with a variety of contemporary and historic digital datasets provided an opportunity for me to process, interpret and package this information for the benefit of the local community, council and private consultants. The datasets include historic orthophotos created using WebODM; drillhole data with modelled surfaces (QGIS); and geological and geomorphic vector mapping (QGIS) using appropriate data models.

Within the assessment, thirty-six of 105 surveyed community members (34%) reported negative impacts of mining on their village managed fisheries following establishment of river extraction operations. Monitoring the impacts of mineral extraction on increased sediment loading downstream in marine ecosystems is challenging given the dynamic nature of rapidly changing water quality. Furthermore, there are additional challenges in disaggregating the influences of mining from rainfall-runoff dynamics and other sources of turbidity and sediment transport. This study first seeks to detect mineral extraction activities using Digital Earth Pacific (DEP). The DEP algorithms use random forest and logistic regression for classification of mineral extraction activities with change detection to identify areas impacted by recent mineral extraction activities between two points in time. To assess the associated impacts of these mineral extraction activities on marine ecosystems, the study combines remote sensing of both terrestrial and marine environments. In future further sediment transport modelling can be run over marine ecosystems. The results yield estimates of potential impacts of sediment transport from mining on marine ecosystems in Fiji.

But even the most insightful minds can't unlock doors without the right keys. In a world overflowing with diverse data—from public and commercial satellite imagery, deep learning algorithms, to cultural and traditional knowledge—we often find ourselves standing before doors we can't open alone, limiting the scale of our collective wisdom. Just because something is available, does not make it accessible or usable. The keys to impactful solutions are scattered across different sectors and disciplines, each holding a piece but none possessing the whole. So, how can we collectively find and use these keys to move from data access and usability, to data analysis, and finally to scalable, insight-driven decision-making? We need to explore the barriers that keep these doors locked—silos of data, complex technologies, and fragmented, competitive efforts—and present a roadmap for breaking them down. By embracing openness in all its forms—open data, open communication, open collaboration—government, academia, industry, and non-profit organizations can come together to integrate new data types, technologies, algorithms, and analyses as they continue to grow exponentially. Earth observation and GIS data and technology can no longer be individual fields, they must become tools for all to use. By uniting our individual keys and merging our GIS and Earth observation communities, we can create a master key—one that unlocks access and usability towards innovative and multifaceted solutions to our planet’s biggest challenges, grounded in collaboration, communication, and community. Let’s explore how, together, we can open doors to impactful change that none of us can unlock alone.

However, this data is expensive and challenging to obtain at scale using drone or aerial survey methods, resulting in a “missing link” between land-based elevation and marine bathymetry data. Freely available imagery from earth observation satellites like Landsat and Sentinel-2 represent a powerful alternative resource for mapping coastal zones across large regions and through time. However, previous applications of earth observation satellite data have been restricted to low resolution and single timesteps, limiting their ability to map highly complex and constantly changing coastal environments. This talk will introduce Digital Earth Australia (DEA) Intertidal, a new open-source method for mapping Australia’s coastal regions in unprecedented spatial and temporal detail. Our approach combines free and open satellite imagery from Geoscience Australia’s DEA program with advanced geospatial analysis tools from the open-source Open Data Cube and DEA Tools Python packages. Our approach greatly decreases the volume of satellite imagery required to generate accurate coastal elevation models, allowing us to extract fine-scale coastal features that could not be resolved by previous mapping methods and track how Australia’s dynamic coastal regions have changed from 2016 to today. Our approach is entirely based on open-source data and code, allowing it to be applied to any coastal location on the planet. We demonstrate how our workflows can be applied both within Australia using cloud-hosted satellite data from DEA, and externally using Microsoft Planetary Computer data loaded using STAC metadata and the Open Data Cube. Through this integration between coastal remote sensing, cloud-native data and open metadata standards, DEA Intertidal potentially provides a powerful approach for modelling and analysing dynamic coastal zones globally.

The process necessitates large-scale access to comprehensive time series data derived from earth observation, as well as substantial computational power capable of running complex physics-based and deep learning models. This talk introduces a modern cloud-based information system architecture, AquaWatch Data Systems. Built upon the framework of CSIRO's **EASI** technology and consisting of 1000's of open-source components put together, AquaWatch provides an innovative and efficient solution to the manifold challenges posed by water quality monitoring. In addition to EASI’s core catalogue of curated earth observation data and scalable compute, GPU and storage capabilities, ADS provides access to atmospherically corrected data, specialized aquatic applications and a data lake of in situ observations of water quality alongside remote sensing observations. ADS platform has been successfully demonstrated in 3-4 pilot projects across Australia and a similar number globally spanning Malaysia, Vietnam, Italy and the US, showcasing its feasibility and efficacy. The system efficiently collocates around 1000 data streams of in situ observations with petabytes of earth observation data from Sentinel, Landsat and Hyperspectral sensors easily accessible via the Open Data Cube, hence facilitating accurate modelling and forecasting. AquaWatch’s deployment on a cloud-based platform enhances scalability, ensures ease of access, and promises substantial computational capacity needed to run advanced physics based and deep learning models. This talk will focus on the Open Source Geospatial and Geospatial adjacent software stacks that let ADS function and discuss how they relate to each other. In conclusion, AquaWatch Data Systems allows development of practical advances in water quality monitoring, modelling and forecasting, offering valuable guidance in water resource management.

To address these challenges, Geoneon has developed an innovative open-source geospatial tool designed to enhance forest fire management and resilience across the country. This project integrates the Forest Fire Severity Index and the Forest Fire Exposure Index, providing comprehensive and real-time data on forest fire risks. The Forest Fire Severity Index estimates potential fire intensity by combining satellite imagery, topographical data, weather patterns, and climate conditions. The Forest Fire Exposure Index assesses the vulnerability of buildings by mapping their footprints and comparing them with the severity index. Together, these indices offer a robust framework for understanding and managing forest fire risks, enabling targeted mitigation and resource allocation. This project is a collaborative effort involving key Bhutanese partners, including the Department of Local Governance & Disaster Management and the Department of Forests and Park Services. It is funded by the World Bank and administered by the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center. Future development includes integrating weather and climate components, refining algorithms, and enhancing data sources. Ultimately, the Bhutanese government will be able to run the algorithms independently and publish the results on their own portals, fostering a sustainable and resilient approach to forest fire management. This presentation will discuss the development process, key features, current status, and future directions of the project, highlighting the importance of open-source tools in addressing environmental challenges.

Because, if it doesn’t, no tool in existence will magically give you reliable and correct answers.” - Baldur Bjarnason Metadata and Catalogues provide invaluable tools for leveraging your resources in ways that are FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) and give the consistency and reliability needed to make the best use of these resources. Yet this landscape is murky, and there is very little good guidance available. In this talk, Byron, who has been at the centre of recent efforts, will provide insight into how to better understand these tools in ways that work for you. Standards such as GeoDCAT, ISO19115, STAC and OGC API Records (amongst others) will be discussed - how, where and when they are best used, separately or together, to benefit all that rely on geospatial resources. PUBLIC CONFIRMED Talk https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-sotm-oceania-2024/talk/SVGZRK/ Anglesea Room Byron Cochrane PUBLISH QN9HLY@@talks.staging.osgeo.org -QN9HLY Reflections of a Dreamer: Spatial Enterprise Architecture Templates (SEAT) en en 20241107T112500 0.02500 Reflections of a Dreamer: Spatial Enterprise Architecture Templates (SEAT) Tenders for spatial solutions, eg from Councils, are often couched in terms of the provision of a single, integrated, enterprise solution. Responding to such tenders using ESRI software only is easier because ESRI markets its software as providing a single packaged enterprise solution in which all of the spatial functionality that might be envisioned for an organisation are addressed; from back office to front office. Along with ESRI software there is training, software versioning, and support which are key to supporting a packaged solution. (I will not discuss how well ESRI provides a truly enterprise solution – that is outside the scope of this paper.) Crafting a single integrated, version controlled, and supportable solution using FOSS4G components is challenging because FOSS4G projects, such as GeoServer, PostGIS, OpenLayers, and qGIS, are managed independently of each other. Additionally, a solution might have to be crafted from heterogeneous components as the situation dictates: PostGIS may not be deployable where an organisation insists that all database storage has to be managed by SQL Server. So when one adds commercial software into the mix, such as database vendors or ESRI components, or specific technology is required as part of the solution (eg a ReactJS only client tier), or the whole stack has to be proven to work within a single internationalised language environment, creating an integrated solution becomes a challenge. Yes, all the components so described can be downloaded, integrated, version controlled, documented and supportable but this is not easy and, even worse, not easily replicated to other organisations by those whose focus is only on a single point solution. So how can one provide an integrated, “enterprise” solution from any one set of components that is shareable and reusable? And how can one do so via a packaged solution that has resolved integration issues, and manages software versioning etc (provision of training and support is also outside the scope of this paper)? The author does not pretend to have an answer to this but suggests that a way forward for enterprise solutions using FOSS4G software may be via a different sort of FOSS4G project which aims at guiding enterprise solutions architecture via a set of templates that can be used as a basis for creating and deploying an open, but integrated, solution. This is what he calls the “Spatial Enterprise Architecture Template” or SEAT, project. A template might be created that describes how to use SQL Server Spatial, GeoServer and qGIS, to implement a full spatial data editing and versioning solution using fully tested components (eg qGIS plugins for versioning that used SQL Server temporal data management). Another template might address how to use PostgreSQL partitioning within a PostGIS, qGIS, qGIS Server technology stack in which managing software versions is addressed. These templates are not proprietary but are themselves free and open source (perhaps covered by Creative Commons licensing). It is perhaps a bit bold as to call for interested parties to implement SEAT, but he would be interested to start a conversation with anyone that sees merit in the project and might join in evolving the idea.

After many ideas, insights, problems, and solutions, we developed an open-source documentation platform that is tailored to the needs of geoscientists.  This talk will give you a demo of the [DEA Knowledge Hub](https://knowledge.dea.ga.gov.au/) and its various features. It will also explain the open-source technologies that it is built upon, such as Sphinx.  You'll learn how we adopted the docs-as-code philosophy to enable simplicity, ease of editing, and an intuitive peer-review workflow.  You will also see some advanced features that may change the way you write documentation. These include 'data templates' and Jupyter Notebook rendering.  Finally, there will be a demo of the [dea-knowledge-hub code repository](https://github.com/GeoscienceAustralia/dea-knowledge-hub) to show you how easy it is to fork the repository and set up your own documentation website.

For this work our calibration dataset consisted of 32 known sheep dip sites. Our two-stage approach (1) prefilters locations of interest using similarity matching in the semantically rich DINOv2 feature space, then for each location (2) applies a multi-stage prompt chain through the vision enabled GPT-4o large language model (LLM) to reason whether there are indications of sheep dipping activities and provide a corresponding prediction on the likelihood of a sheep dip being present. To reduce hallucinations, we employ chain of thought prompting techniques, explicitly instruct the LLM to review observations and inferences at multiple steps, and provide its final judgement in predefined subjective categories (i.e. certainly, likely, unlikely, certainly not). Further work following on from this project is to ground truth identified historic sheep dip locations with fieldwork and soil sampling.

As cartographers and spatial data enthusiasts we frequently treat "data" as the end goal of our spatial analysis and consider our work a success when we've delivered data to our clients. But raw data should only be our starting point, and often isn't what our clients actually need! So what does this mean for our lovely maps, spatial data portals, dashboards and APIs? In this talk I'll be exploring how we can better satisfy our users by going beyond just data. I'll be drawing on my experience from working within the State Intelligence Division at Victoria Police, and will deliver practical tips on how we can improve our maps (and other spatial products) by not treating raw data as our ultimate goal!

This initiative seeks to enhance the usability of existing Loop3D algorithms by leveraging recent developments and innovations within QGIS to address the complexities associated with 3D geological modelling. In this project, a QGIS plugin has been developed to provide a user-friendly interface for exploration projects. The plugin features, include data processing and integration which incorporate field and knowledge-based geological parameters into the QGIS ecosystem. These various processes involved map deconstruction using the open-source package map2loop. Furthermore, extensive 3D modelling calculations have been integrated using loopstructural engine to facilitate the transition to 3D geological modelling, whether conducted remotely or locally using docker technology. This project explores the evolving landscape of QGIS development, specifically targeting the enhancement of its capabilities for 3D geological modelling. Through practical applications, our work demonstrates the enhanced QGIS 3D geological modelling capabilities and their relevance in real-world scenarios.

As a part of that ongoing program CHS commissioned IIC Technologies to develop a Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS) Extension to Help Create Bathymetric Community Maps. The CHS desired to provide these communities, particularly those in the remote northern areas of Canada, with the ability to create ‘Community Maps/charts’ using their own data in areas where no large-scale charting was available. The objective of the extension is to greatly streamline the processing and visualisation of bathymetric data collected by the public for their own purposes and to encourage bathymetric data gathering in these remote areas ultimately improving safety of navigation. The UMap Plugin that has been developed, allows any user to drag and drop existing bathymetric data, newly collected bathymetry from simple bathy data loggers and other source information into a tool that automatically interprets and visualises all supplied inputs. Although not an official chart, the system automatically generates a ‘chart-like’ community map product that includes colour-coded depth areas, depth contours and a selection of soundings making understanding of local bathymetry truly effortless. This free plug-in is already available for public use in the QGIS repository under IIC Technologies (https://github.com/umap-iic/UMap) and, although it was commissioned by the CHS for use in Canada, it can be utilised anywhere in the world as long as there is a suitable vector shoreline and bathymetric data for the area of interest. The tool is super-easy to use (please watch the short uTube clip for a demonstration https://youtu.be/QiiiLgZRaO4) and the public are encouraged to utilise it in their areas of interest. An excellent article on the trial undertaken on UMap by CHS has just been released in the IHR , and makes for very good reading if you want to know more about the communities it was developed for and how they will benefit from its use (see below).
