Event Details
Join the first Copernicus open data hackathon in Austria!
—
Copernicus is a European system for monitoring the Earth.
During the hackathon, we will work with open data from two satellites: Sentinel 1 and Sentinel 2.
These satellites provide data for:
– land changes (it can map different classes of cover such as forest, crops, grassland, water surfaces and artificial covers like roads and buildings;
– water health and pollution;
– agricultural practices, to estimate crop acreage, to provide soil moisture information and to forecast yield;
– distinguishing between different crop types as well as data on numerous plant indices, such as leaf area index, leaf chlorophyll content and leaf water content;
– disaster mapping.
In other words, join us for an exciting experience developing solutions for global problems such as climate change, health challenges and food problems!
Prizes:
-1500 € in cash for the winning team
– featuring on www.23degree.org
– access to virtual machines and computing environment from EODC
– a spot in INITS startupcamp
