GEO-LDN Toolbox Surveys

The following survey is designed for users of, and tool providers to, the GEO-LDN Toolbox. The GEO-LDN Toolbox is a curated entry point to help users select the right analytic tools and methods for monitoring land degradation and planning restoration. The purpose of the survey is to gather feedback on the utility and development needs for the GEO-LDN Toolbox, as well as understanding more about awareness of the Toolbox. The answers you give here will help GEO-LDN understand how to take the Toolbox forward. Note: The GEO Land Degradation Neutrality Flagship (GEO-LDN) is a stakeholder-driven initiative that brings together Earth observation data providers and governments to develop minimum data quality standards, analytical tools and capacity building needed to strengthen land degradation monitoring and reporting, using remote sensing and data collected on site. The LDN Toolbox is a user-oriented entry point to a suite of analytical tools, datasets and methods for land use planning towards land degradation neutrality.

Learning New Skills in EO & Geospatial

Hi, we are thriveGEO, a training and education startup in the Earth Observation (EO) and geospatial domain and we are running a short survey to learn better from you how you currently look for EO & geospatial information and how you make sure to keep up to date with the fast-paced landscape of EO & geospatial data and technologies. This survey is for professionals who are either working or interested in working with EO & geospatial data. The survey should take no longer than 5 to 8 minutes to complete. We are using this information to design new training solutions that will help you and your team get the information and skills you need more easily, in a shorter time. As a thank you, if you leave your email address, we will give you early access to our upcoming solution suite! - Julia Wagemann & Sabrina Szeto ([email protected])

Advancements in Wildland Fire Management and Engagement: Integrating Earth Observation Technologies and Open Collaborative Development

Wildland fires pose significant challenges to communities, ecosystems, and economies worldwide. Balancing their negative impacts with their positive benefits requires innovative approaches that leverage cutting-edge technologies while fostering collaboration among diverse stakeholders. This session proposes a comprehensive exploration of advancements in wildland fire management, monitoring, and modeling by integrating Earth observation technologies and collaborative development efforts. We will highlight innovative approaches that foster cross-boundary, multi-jurisdictional collaborations among tribal, local, federal, and international partners. For example, efforts like Canada’s WildFireSat mission, NASA FireSense, the Pyregence Consortium, and the internationally funded GOFC-GOLD Fire Mapping and Monitoring Implementation Team are creating transformative wildland fire science, data products, and tools built on relationships and knowledge exchange. By bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise, we aim to advance the science and practice of wildland fire management while enhancing the resilience of communities and ecosystems in the face of increasing wildfire risk and lengthening fire seasons.

Innovative Applications of Social Sciences to Advance Earth Observations and Remote Sensing

Join us for an engaging session that explores the intersection of Earth observation (EO) and social science for tackling pressing global challenges. Earth observations are used to monitor climate change, advance sustainable development goals, and inform policy decisions. Social science in EO enables transformative research by providing crucial insights into human dimensions of environmental issues, such as understanding human behavior and perspectives, identifying barriers and opportunities, assessing impacts and equity, enhancing collaboration and co-design, and more. This session will highlight the diverse methodologies of applied social sciences, from mixed methods to transdisciplinary approaches, their integration with EO applications and research, and opportunities to improve the effectiveness and quality of these methods. Through discussions on varying methods and applications of social sciences in EO, we strive to uncover how these approaches enhance transformative research while addressing societal and environmental challenges.
