SUMMARY:EuroGEO Workshop 2025
DESCRIPTION:EuroGEO Workshop 2025 will bring together the European Earth Observation (EO) community under the theme “Advancing collective Earth Intelligence”. Organised by the European Commission\, the EuroGEO Secretariat and the Netherlands Space Office\, the event will highlight Europe’s united contribution to the GEO Work Programme and showcase how policy\, research and innovation are shaping the transition from EO services to Earth Intelligence. \nDestinE contribution\nDestinE will contribute insights on co-design methods as a key enabler for Earth Intelligence. Franka Kunz (ESA) will support two sessions from this perspective: \n11.00 – 12.45 | The Vision for Earth Intelligence – From Policy to ImpactThis plenary session will present a shared vision of Earth Intelligence as a driver of policy design\, implementation and systemic change. The discussion will explore how European initiatives\, including DestinE\, align with global frameworks and national priorities. \n16.00 – 17.30 | Parallel 3: Co-design method for Earth ObservationHosted at MINES Paris PSL\, this session will focus on co-design approaches for bridging the gap between EO experts and potential users — a long-standing challenge limiting both commercial uptake and societal impact in Europe. Building on methods pioneered in e-Shape and now advanced through DestinE\, the session will demonstrate how co-design helps to create user-driven services that deliver economic and societal value. Reflections on six years of development will highlight the role of co-design as a central element in enabling Earth Intelligence. \nMore information and Registration

SUMMARY:Roadshow Webinar: Global Fish Tracking System (GFTS)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a webinar about the Global Fish Tracking Service (GFTS) and learn how to effectively use it. This webinar is geared towards scientists working with biologging data and interested in performing fish track reconstruction. We will explore the two key components of our integrated system: \nThe first component focuses on modeling. We’ve developed a Jupyter Hub-based modeling environment designed for running fish track reconstruction algorithms in a hosted and scalable setting. This pangeo-based infrastructure includes various features\, notably the pangeo-fish open-source modeling framework. We’ll demonstrate how to conduct fish track reconstruction using pangeo-fish within the GFTS infrastructure. \nThe second component covers making data accessible to a wider audience through our decision support tool. We’ve created a data processing pipeline that converts output into web-friendly formats\, seamlessly integrating with our graphical user interface\, accessible online via the DestinE platform. \nAbout GFTS\nGFTS revolutionizes ocean protection and fisheries management by streamlining the analysis and visualization of fish biologging data. \nExplore the GFTS on the DestinE Platform! \nScientists can leverage GFTS to convert raw biologging data into fish tracks within a scalable environment. Individual tracks and group-level habitat maps can be generated and smoothly integrated into the GFTS visualization tool. Future ocean conditions in these habitats are computed using the DestinE Climate Adaptation Digital Twin. \nPolicy makers gain clear visualization of critical fish habitats and migration patterns\, enabling evidence-based decisions on marine protected areas and sustainable fishing quotas without requiring technical expertise. \nIf you are a scientist with biologging data\, we encourage you to attend the webinar and connect with us to facilitate your onboarding. \nAgenda\n\nIntroduction to GFTS and its creators\nFish track reconstruction in GFTS\nWhat is fish track reconstruction?\nHow to use pangeo-fish\nGFTS Jupyter Hub: a scalable modeling environment\nDescription of its capabilities\nParallelizing your fish track reconstruction notebooks\nHow to request access and get started\nGFTS Decision Support Tool\nConverting raw model data to web-ready formats using our pipeline\nIntegrating the data into the GFTS web interface\nLive demo of the interface and data for Sea Bass and Pollock\nSummary and Q&A\n\nRecording

SUMMARY:5th ECMWF-ESA Machine Learning Workshop
DESCRIPTION:ECMWF and ESA are organising the fifth workshop on Machine Learning for Earth Observation and Prediction\, which will be held from 13-17 April 2026 in Bologna\, Italy. \nMachine Learning (ML) is increasingly being used to observe and predict how the Earth system behaves. The scale\, complexity and sophistication of these ML technologies have also increased considerably over the last few years. \nThe in-person meeting will provide an up-to-date snapshot of the state of the art in this rapidly evolving field. It will also be a forum of discussion and interaction among scientists and practitioners about the current opportunities and challenges presented by the use of ML technologies for Earth system observation and prediction. \nThe workshop will discuss hybrid ML-physics based systems and end-to-end ML approaches for data assimilation and weather and climate prediction. It will explore new ways to apply ML to Earth system observations and examine how high performance and emerging computing technologies can accelerate these applications. Participants will also look at the role of ML in building digital twins of the Earth system and share strategies to make these models more accurate and efficient. \nRegistration for in person participation closes on 31 January.
