So proud of the @ai4soilhealth.bsky.social team for getting this article out: doi.org/10.7717/peer... #SoilScience #NaturalResourceManagement this is (to our knowledge) first ever #OpenData dynamic soil carbon density product at fine spatial res (30-m) for EU. Explore the data via ecodatacube.eu

We are looking for a Computer scientist 🤖 High Performance Computing for EO data. Come and work for @opengeohub.bsky.social join our high profile projects @openearthmonitor.bsky.social Open Geospatial Carbon Reg, @landcarbonlab.bsky.social ... Apply before 01-Aug: opengeohub.org/jobs/compute...

The v1 of the 30 m resolution global soil carbon density, SOC content, pH, texture fractions, bulk density and soil types (USDA subgroups) now out; soil carbon and soil pH are mapped as dynamic soil variables for 5yr intervals. Preprint: doi.org/10.5194/essd... Data: github.com/openlandmap/...

📢 Researchers wanted! - PhD candidate: Hybrid geospatial modeling of carbon fluxes and associated uncertainty for scenario testing (opengeohub.org/jobs/researc... with Uni of Utrecht), - Research assistant: modeling land use & land cover dynamics using ML & AI (opengeohub.org/jobs/researc...),

Say goodbye to human-readable EO images. Computers do not need to look and think as humans to get work done. Accuracy and efficiency is all you need. Google EE team now makes 10m ARD (annual starting from 2020) synthetic bands / deep features (64 in total): developers.google.com/earth-engine...

Interesting to see these numbers at #LPS25: @esa.int costs about €8B per year; Copernicus (especially Sentinel-1 a -2) is now the world leading source of open EO data, but this is still *only* 0.06% of GDP. USA invests almost 3 times more (per capita).

We are excited to come to #LPS25 and connect with EO / remote sensing data scientists (apparently over 6500 participants are expected!) next week. Well done @esa.int ! Are you also coming to Vienna next week and would like to connect? Please bookmark and visit us: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

#SoilOrganicCarbon (organic matter / plant and animal residues at various stages of decomposition) is one of the key indicators of #soilhealth / soil ecosystem services. But how do you measure and report SOC? We advocate that SOC density [kg/m3] is the central variable to monitor SOC dynamics [1/5]

Our @openearthmonitor.bsky.social project now featured in the CORDIS Results package: “Advancing FAIR and Open Environmental Data”: cordis.europa.eu/article/id/4... We will be this year at the #GlobalGEOForum 2025, #LPS2025 and the OEMC Global Workshop 2025. Come and join us!

Was great to catch up with Koen van Seijen to chat about the future of tech for monitoring soil / 1hr podcast (it will be interesting to come back to it in few yrs to see what we got wrong!). investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2025/03/04/t... @ai4soilhealth.bsky.social

BREAKING: In recent days, the #TrumpAdministration has taken significant actions to slow U.S. #ClimateAction. They have frozen most U.S. foreign assistance, moved to abolish USAID, and withdrawn from the #ParisAgreement, among other actions. Read the statement from Ani Dasgupta: buff.ly/3WP2R28

I made long-term estimates of soil moisture at 1km for EU (quarterly 2014-2024) based on Copernicus Land Monitoring Service. I tried also producing monthly/bimonthly aggregates, but these have too many artifacts. You can assess data under CC-BY at: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... @ai4soilhealth.bsky.social
