New blog post: Accessing Planetary Computer STAC files in DuckDB - see https://blog.rtwilson.com/accessing-planetary-computer-stac-files-in-duckdb/

This is a report of my experimentation on how to access STAC GeoParquet files provided by Planetary Computer in DuckDB - I struggle a bit with authentication and libraries, but get it working after a while.

Given the lack of outrage (outside my WhatsApp peers) on the demise of #PlanetaryComputer , I guess not many #earthobservation peeps used it. Such a shame.... Cool open technology!

So #Microsoft is retiring the #PlanetaryComputer Hub, which allowed you to do quite advanced analyses using standard #Python packages. I guess we can run it elsewhere, and this was always on the cards, that's why using a standard #pangeo setup was good, but as with all things cloud, it's infuriating!!!

@hughagraham @esa Depending on what type of SAR data you'll use, you can often (application dependent) get away with using already RTC'ed ARD data (e.g., from #PlanetaryComputer), and by using fairly simple speckle reduction filters (mostly, they are ways of cleverly blurring images). For polarimetric or interferometic data, things are more complex. Let us know how you're getting on!

Who is using Microsoft's Planetary Computer? This is a good little summary for those who are wondering what it is about https://gogeomatics.ca/the-microsoft-planetary-computer-and-cloud-based-gis/ #datascience #PlanetaryComputer
The Microsoft Planetary Computer and Cloud Based GIS

Microsoft has developed an online, open-source tool called The Microsoft Planetary Computer. One of the many struggles when performing geospatial analysis on a global scale is the sheer volume of d…

“To respond to growing needs for high-quality elevation data, the goal of 3DEP is to complete acquisition of nationwide lidar (IfSAR in AK) to provide the first-ever national baseline of consistent high-resolution topographic elevation data – both bare earth and 3D point clouds. This dataset provides the raw 3D point clouds in the Cloud Optimized Point Cloud format, and various derived products as Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs…”

@luis_herrero I've been using #PlanetaryComputer for a while, but it doesn't have a lot of level 1 and NRT products. The idea of using the Copernicus STAC was actually to allow mix'n'match with PC.
