🌳 Calgary Tree Equity Tool — Updated! I’ve updated the Calgary Tree Equity Tool ( https://t.co/XbCtp57P7I) with a redesigned user interface. The equity score now also includes land surface temperature which accounts for urban heat island effects.

Want to learn more in person? I’ll be at the @ClimateHubYYC Tree Party on May 31 to talk about the Calgary Tree Equity Tool. Come say hello and let’s talk trees and data. 🌐

I’ve also written a detailed walkthrough of how the tool was built, including data sources and analysis methods: 🔗

We'd like to invite you to attend SatCamp in beautiful Boulder, Colorado, from October 1 to 3, 2024. Because of its unique nature, space is very limited. There are still a few spots left that include accommodations. https://t.co/v3Bj2xSllS

#yyccc's historic housing hearings revealed Calgarians across the political divide love their trees & care about tree canopy. Hub #NatureNode members @DruhFarrell @winexus @saadiqmohiuddin & Heather Addy couldn't agree more. What's up with trees in #YYC? https://t.co/ecIDpTDCIi

We've brought together a small group involved in building Large Earth Models to share approaches, results, current challenges, & future aspirations. @EarthGenome @OurRadiantEarth @IBMResearch @MSFTResearch @NASAEarth @UAHuntsville @myzeusai @Satellogic @ClarkUniversity @brunosan

You can also see tree canopy change over time. Tuxedo Park tree canopy has been hit hard by inner city redevelopment in recent years (8% loss between 2017 and 2022). You can see the loss in canopy for a row of infill houses. (4/4)

Tree canopy change over time is also concerning. Between 2017 and 2022, established NE neighbourhoods have the highest tree canopy loss, with communities such as Rundle, Whitehorn, Marlborough and Pineridge losing around 10% canopy each. (3/4)

NE Calgary has the lowest tree cover in Calgary and the lowest Tree Equity Scores, averaging around 60 out of 100. Areas in the Saddle Ridge community, with a high visible minority population, have tree cover as low as 1%, far below the City goal of 16%. (2/4)

Excited to share a project I've been working on! The Calgary Tree Equity mapping tool shows how equitable tree coverage is in Calgary: https://t.co/PpFOz0kHEu. It calculates a Tree Equity Score and measures how well the benefits of trees are reaching communities. (1/4)

Come to the Genesis Centre on Jan 30, 6pm to learn about tree equity, and how you can help improve the tree canopy in NE Calgary! Check out the link for more details. https://t.co/TPBaXOv1My @ClimateHubYYC #yyc #trees

1/6 🌍 Join our team! 🚀 We're looking for a Technical Partnerships Lead to help shape the future of geospatial services. If you are excited about community engagement, business development, and solution engineering, this role is for you.

We thought that #FOSS4GNA was the perfect time to share something we've been working on with @cloudnativegeo @NASAEarthData: The Cloud-Optimized Geospatial Formats Guide! 🔗 Learn more: https://t.co/LYHFEU9Rdq #geospatial #EarthSciencedata @foss4gna

Looking forward to participating in #WFUF2023 this week! On Wednesday, we'll present during the session: "Do the right thing: Planning, designing, and managing the urban forest to strengthen its resilience to external shocks." We hope to see you there!

Testing out serving Parquet GTFS files and querying in the browser with DuckDB-Wasm. Exciting cloud native alternative to loading CSV into Postgres or SQLite. https://t.co/qJof5odH5o

Did you know that northeast Calgary neighbourhoods have the lowest tree cover in the city? Come by the Genesis Centre on Tuesday July 25, 6pm to learn about Tree Equity in NE Calgary! @ClimateHubYYC https://t.co/lnwkZ0Iy17

📢 Say hello to eoAPI, a cloud-native backend for modern, open geospatial data infrastructure. 🌍 Built around the STAC specification, eoAPI makes massive earth observation (EO) data archives discoverable & interoperable. 🔗 https://t.co/Gf0qz6WDMG Let's dive into the details. 👇

We'll see you all at @N51Conference next week. Looking forward to connecting with friends old and new. @ianschuler will be there along with @saadiqmohiuddin and Martina Taverna.

We can't believe we've been fortunate enough to be on this journey for 20 years. If we had to sum it all up in one word, it would be: grateful. #ds20 1/5

I'm stoked to build with Segment Anything! We're working on getting the image encoder and mask prediction running fast to improve our satellite image annotation workflows and model development. Thanks torchserve for making this easy!
