USGS GA EO Data Science Seminar July 2020
Channel: GeoscienceAustralia
Date: 2020-07-28

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) and Geoscience Australia have long collaborated in the field of Earth observation (EO). Today, the USGS and Geoscience Australia's Digital Earth Australia (DEA) team work closely together on standards development, analysis ready data production, calibration and validation, and on using the data to undertake science.
This seminar provided a forum for USGS and DEA scientists to talk about how the new paradigm of cloud data access enables the application of science at a scale that was previously difficult to reach.

The line-up: 
• Facilitator: Alex Leith (GA)
• Introduction: Pete Doucette (USGS)
• Belle Tissott (GA): Land cover classification and change mapping at scale
• Terry Sohl (USGS) - The USGS Grand Challenge: Earth Monitoring, Analyses, and Projections (EarthMAP)
• Robbi Bishop-Taylor (GA) - DEA CoastLines: A 30 year history of coastal change in Australia using earth observation data
• Jesslyn Brown (USGS) - Monitoring Land Surface Change with Landsat Analysis Ready Data
• Claire Krause (GA) - From Water Observations to Compliance Tools
• Gabriel Senay (USGS) - Modelling Water Consumption through Evapotranspiration
• Q & A Panel Session
