O DELTA H é uma reunião científica  na área de Geomorfologia e Evolução de Paisagens. Foi criada para promover uma imersão na vanguarda da pesquisa científica em Evolução de Paisagens, juntando pesquisadoras e pesquisadores nacionais e internacionais em um único dia de palestras e discussões. 
 

O desenvolvimento atual de pesquisas que abordam a realidade sócio-espacial apoiada pelo uso de geotecnologias, mostra o progresso acadêmico e profissional de várias disciplinas interessadas em gerar resultados de grande interesse no campo do planejamento do uso do solo, cujas contribuições são orientadas para a aplicação do conhecimento para a resolução de problemas geográficos.

O Land Portal, o Global Data Barometer e o Open Data Charter estão trabalhando em conjunto no conjunto de dados abertos e governança fundiária. 

As evidências mostram que muito poucos dados sobre a terra estão abertos ao público. Este segundo webinar de Whose Land? se concentrará nas oportunidades e restrições das organizações da sociedade civil (OSCs - sigla em inglês) e comunidades locais na defesa de mais dados abertos sobre a terra e no aproveitamento de seu poder para melhorar sua governança. 

19 de julho das 15 - 16:30 CET

Desde 2019, o Land Portal tem usado histórias de dados como uma forma de demonstrar como combinar dados com narrativas envolventes, memoráveis e persuasivas que podem fortalecer as comunidades a contar suas histórias para o mundo. 

Structures such as buildings, roads, and other infrastructure absorb and re-emit the sun’s heat more than natural landscapes such as forests and water bodies. Urban areas, where these structures are highly concentrated and greenery is limited, become “islands” of higher temperatures relative to outlying areas.

Healthy ecosystems provide essential pieces of daily life for humans such as clean water, food, medicines, carbon sequestration, protection against extreme weather, and much more. Natural capital accounting recognizes that these assets must be maintained, managed, and measured for critical decision-making activities.

Recent studies have shown that globally, riverine and coastal floods are increasing in intensity and duration. In addition, the number of people living in flood-prone areas has increased substantially during the last two decades.

NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) has opened a new online advanced webinar series: Crop Mapping using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Optical Remote Sensing. This three-part training, presented in English and Spanish, is open to the public and builds on previous ARSET agricultural trainings. Here we present more advanced radar remote sensing techniques using polarimetry and a canopy structure dynamic model to monitor crop growth. The training will also cover methods that use machine learning methods to classify crop type using a time series of Sentinel-1 & Sentinel-2 imagery. This series will include practical exercises using the Sentinel Application Platform (SNAP) and Python code written in Python Jupyter Notebooks, a web-based interactive development environment for scientific computing and machine learning.

NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) has opened a new online introductory webinar series: Fundamentals of Machine Learning for Earth Science. This three-part training, presented in English and Spanish, is open to the public and will provide attendees an overview of machine learning in regards to Earth Science, and how to apply these algorithms and techniques to remote sensing data in a meaningful way. Attendees will also be provided with end-to-end case study examples for generating a simple random forest model for land cover classification from optical remote sensing. We will also present additional case studies to apply the presented workflows using additional NASA data.

NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) has opened a new open, online webinar series: Application of NASA SPoRT-Land Information System (SPoRT-LIS) Soil Moisture Data for Drought. This 3-part webinar series is focused on the introduction of the NASA Land Information System (LIS) output of soil moisture at various depths for drought analysis and monitoring. Examples from operational applications as well as practice exercises (for using LIS data for drought monitoring) will be included in this course. Access to the SPoRT-LIS products via online viewer, in GIS formats, and GIS-based display tools, will also be included. Moreover, self-paced microlessons will be available to help users confirm their understanding and improve their skill via homework lessons between live sessions.

Este webinário tem como objetivo desenvolver o potencial de pesquisadores(as) e profissionais de toda a África para entender melhor as abordagens sustentáveis da governança de dados fundiários. O webinário destacará a importância da boa governança de dados fundiários para melhorar os direitos de propriedade e permitir serviços governamentais mais eficientes.
