📢 A digital twin approach for the identification and update of ecological infrastructure by Audrey Lambiel, Gregory Giuliani @greggiuliani, Nathan Külling& Anthony Lehmann 👉doi.org/10.1080/20964471.202… 💌Addressing the global environmental crisis necessitates coordinated efforts, supported by open and #reproducibleresearch practices. Such practices aim to enhance the reliability, efficiency, and credibility of scientific outputs. Innovative tools are necessary for systematic conservation planning. This technical note presents a reproducible and automated approach for supporting #landmanagement and planning by identifying and updating ecological #infrastructure (EI). Grounded in #openscienceFindable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable principles #datamanagement, and #digitaltwin (DT) concepts, the method focuses on the Canton of #Geneva, #Switzerland. It integrates species distribution modelling, #ecosystemservice assessments, and spatial prioritization within a shared #JupyterLabenvironment. The infrastructure centralizes data, automates indicator calculations, and ensures transparency, traceability, and reproducibility through version control and metadata generation. Ecological tools like #Zonationenable the identification of high-priority #conservation areas aligned with international targets. The system facilitates collaborative #workflowsand indicator updates. Its architecture allows scalability to broader regions and scenario modelling, laying the foundation for a DT of Geneva’s environment. Despite challenges in harmonizing workflows across institutional partners, this solution enhances efficiency and replicability in EI planning. The methodology is transferable to other regions and adaptable to various environmental modelling domains, offering a robust base for sustainable territorial management.

Survey of India enables a deeper understanding of terrain through accurate representation of elevation using contours in topographical maps. Contours provide valuable insights into landforms, slopes, and surface characteristics, helping users interpret whether the terrain is flat, undulating, or steep. With consistent contour intervals and well-defined characteristics, these maps support engineering projects, route planning, watershed analysis, and infrastructure development across the nation. @DrJitendraSingh @karandi65 @IndiaDST #SurveyOfIndia #GeospatialIndia #ContourMapping #TopographicMapping #TerrainAnalysis [GeospatialTechnology, SurveyingScience, ContourLines, DigitalCartography, SpatialDataInfrastructure, DroneMapping, GNSSSurvey, RemoteSensingData, InfrastructurePlanning, MappingIndia]

📢 Towards an AI Cube for EO data inference in a distributed infrastructure by Peng Yue & Kaixuan Wang 👉 doi.org/10.1080/20964471.202… 💌 Geospatial data cubes show great promise to facilitate integrated and efficient analysis of big Earth Observation (#EO) data. Existing #geospatial #datacube processing focuses more on traditional #geoprocessing algorithms. It is still unknown how to enhance cube analytics with geospatial artificial intelligence (#GeoAI) models. The paper presents an #AI cube approach to improve the cube capabilities from geospatial data storage and processing to the cube inference. The approach includes the proposal of a GeoAI model warehouse using a cube organization, a matchmaker for model selection, and a cube inference pipeline. It is developed using the on-the-fly and batch modes of model inference in a cube #infrastructure-based EO #cloud computing platform, the Open Geospatial Engine (#OGE). The implementation illustrates that the approach enhances traditional data cubes from physical models to GeoAI analysis and contributes to the development of an AI-ready #SpatialDataInfrastructure (#SDI). The on-demand model matchmaker and parallel inference improve the performance of GeoAI inference by achieving the best accuracy from available models and reducing the inference time by over 80%. #bigearthdata #digitalearth #geoscience #remotesensing #earthobservation #GIS #dataanalysis #BigData #deeplearning #GIServices #Earthscience #informationsystem #WebGIS #SoftwareEngineering
