OpenStreetMap 101: Get to know the world's largest collaborative map

The world’s largest crowdsourced geospatial database, OpenStreetMap has become a platform for empowering communities and supporting data driven decision-making as society faces an ever increasing need for geospatial data to understand and respond to complex issues. In this workshop, you'll learn the basics of contributing data to OSM and be introduced to OSM US driven tools like Map Roulette, the Tasking Manager and Public Domain Map.

Session 1: Getting Started with Computer Vision for Earth Observation - Morning Session

Just as in many other fields, Geospatial and Earth Observation have benefited greatly from the new advances in computer vision/AI. We are going to cover some of the use cases for earth observation (remote sensing) and how computer vision is rapidly moving the field forward. In the workshop we will take a foundational model for semantic segmentation, use it to make predictions, fine tune it, and see its improvement. You will be able to go home and take freely available data and models to answer your specific business question

Introduction to Data Engineering

Learn how you can use free open-source technology to build maintainable data pipelines. This workshop will be hands-on and you will actually build and deploy real production data pipelines with Github Actions, GDAL, OSM, and more!

eoAPI: the stack for cloud native earth observation data

eoAPI makes massive earth observation (EO) data archives discoverable and interoperable—the fastest and easiest way to configure, customize, and deploy a full Earth Observation stack. In this workshop you will learn about the interoperable components of eoAPI and how to use them for cataloging, visualizing, and analyzing Earth observation data.

How to Bring Geospatial Awareness to Large Language Models From Geoinformatics Data

Wouldn’t it be useful to have the ability to ask natural language queries to understand features and networks of features and how they are related to each other across different domains? This workshop will show you how to integrate available geoinformatics data at the feature level and capture the geospatial relationships between features as semantic text that can be interpreted by LLMs. By using spatial knowledge graphs, hallucinations are minimized and answers are traceable and viewable on a map.
