Smoke on water – Countering global threats from peatland loss and degradation...Global Landscapes Forum (GLF)
The document discusses the Copernicus program and Sentinel satellite missions for mapping and monitoring peatlands. Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 provide radar and optical data with frequent revisits. Copernicus coordinates the space component of the program led by the EU to provide free and open environmental and security data. The Sentinels will support peatland mapping, monitoring and REDD+ initiatives over the next 20 years.Data Quality on Mars - ISO 80000 and other Standards - Apache Big Data Europe...
Big Data without Data Quality becomes messy and meaningless in most cases. Therefore, data and measurements have to be stored and transferred in a standard way.
We all know that when representing a temperature, for example, we normally have it as decimal/float. But, is this float in Celsius? Fahrenheit? Kelvin?
One of the most vivid examples was Mars Climate Orbiter being lost as the spacecraft went into orbital insertion, due to ground-based computer software which produced output in non-SI units of pound-seconds (lbf×s) instead of the metric units of newton-seconds (N×s) specified in the contract between NASA and Lockheed.
In this session we're going to explore data quality and measurement standards like ISO 80000 or UCUM (Unified Code for Units of Measure), Unit support for programming languages and APIs plus projects using them like Apache SIS, Performance Co-Pilot or uDig.
FLARE_Brief
This document proposes a mission to study unexplained anomalies observed during spacecraft hyperbolic flybys of Earth. The mission would have two phases: Phase A would place cubesats into highly elliptical orbits to observe anomalies during perigee passes and hyperbolic flybys. Phase B would launch a "mothership" satellite carrying additional cubesats into a Venus flyby trajectory to observe anomalies during the Earth hyperbolic flyby. Precise position, velocity and acceleration data would be collected from the cubesats during flybys to better understand if the anomalies represent real phenomena. The goal is to obtain tracking data from at least 12 flyby events within 5 years to evaluate theories regarding the flyby anomalies.

The document discusses the Transportable Array, a network of seismic stations deployed across the United States and Alaska as part of the EarthScope project. It operated from 2004-2015, with nearly 1700 stations placed about 70 km apart in the lower 48 states and 280 stations spaced about 85 km apart in Alaska. The Alaska deployment presented unique challenges due to remote locations accessible only by helicopter. New technologies were developed for the Alaska array, including posthole seismometers, helicopter-transportable equipment, and satellite telemetry. The Transportable Array provided unprecedented capabilities for studying earthquakes and earth structure on a continental scale. While no comparable new projects have been funded in the US, the expertise and approach could potentially be applied to other international seismic arrays

Prosperity in a Changing World – Structural change and economic growth
This document summarizes a policy paper from the Cologne Institute for Economic Research on structural change and economic growth. The paper argues that there is no single superior economic model and different models can successfully deal with structural change. While service sectors have grown in most advanced economies, the level of development and impact of structural change varies significantly between countries. The paper finds no clear relationship between the size of a country's service sector or speed of structural change and its economic prosperity as measured by income, unemployment, and investment. Economic success depends more on how well a country supports key drivers of change like globalization, innovation, and knowledge through flexible markets and value chains.
