The disproportionate concentration of human populations along coasts and river mouths make coastal basins hotspots of change. One of the most visible ways in which mounting human pressures translate into negative consequences for coastal and estuarine ecosystems is through changes in nutrient and phytoplankton concentrations. This presentation will highlight results from recent studies that applied…

Discover the latest advances in cloud-based geospatial processing with Google Earth Engine.  This forum covers the background of Earth Engine and presents datasets, platform capabilities, internal use cases, and a brief literature review.  The event should be of broad interest to anyone with a geospatial component to their research, teaching, or study. Note that this event precedes a…

Coastal systems are subject to water quality degradation through excessive anthropogenic nutrient loading and climate change. Common problems include hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen) and harmful algal blooms that threaten ecosystems, recreation, and fisheries. While multiple organizations are tasked with monitoring such systems, sampling is often sparse and disjointed, limiting our ability to assess water quality…

In this forum, Camilla Mahon with Mapbox will discuss the evolving landscape of hardware and software tooling in the remote sensing industry with emphasis on common open source software solutions for wrangling pixels, the implications of cloud computing and importance of scale, the variety of satellites, planes, and UAVs being used for data collection, and…

A first important step towards better usability of available disease surveillance databases in developing countries, such as Brazil, is developing easier to interpret risk-based priority indices using small area scale health data. Additionally, there is a need to reclassify and downscale multi-resolution state-level geospatial data to better serve policymakers at the municipality level.  This Forum…
