Invitation to attend the OGC-USGS EO Cloud Platforms for Disaster Response Pre-pilot Workshop, December 3-4, 2020
Webinar News
On behalf of the U.S. Geological Survey and OGC, as part of the OGC Disaster Pilot 2021 Initiative, we would like to invite you to participate in a 2-day workshop on cloud-based processing and provisioning platforms for earth observation data. The goal of this workshop will be to show currently available possibilities for extending the capacity of satellite ground segments to process, store, and distribute EO products by leveraging cloud-based infrastructure, platforms, and applications.
The workshop will take place on Thursday and Friday, December 3-4, 2020. It will be conducted virtually as webinars on the GoToMeeting platform and presentations will be made in both Spanish and English. The first day of the workshop will consist of presentations from providers and users of EO cloud platform technologies. Presenters will explain these technologies and also relate how they are being used with real satellite content to address real user needs on the ground. A particular emphasis will be on increasing collection, processing, integration, and distribution capacity for effective response to emergency and disaster situations
The second day of the workshop will be an opportunity for feedback and breakout discussions among sponsors, presenters, and attendees. The objective of these discussions will be to dive more deeply into the details of EO Cloud computing technologies, as well as to clearly delineate user needs and requirements. Particular discussion themes will include linking EO data up to cloud platforms, and then distributing EO products to users in the field under conditions of limited connectivity and access to technology.
