2025 GDAL User Survey is now active for the entire month of December! Visit gdal.org/survey/ & tell the project how you use it, where you get help, what it should do in the future, & how/if it should use LLMs going forward. (optionally) give us your email, we'll even enter you to win a GDAL t-shirt!

@jakimowb.bsky.social presented the #EnMAP-Box and the EO Time Series Viewer at ESA #BiDS25 in Riga, Latvia.
Thanks to the QGIS API, these QGIS plugins allow for an integrated and interactive display of raster data, facilitating the creation of reference data for model training and validation.

The #Landsat program is arguable THE most important satellite mission for ecology, land-system science and sustainability science (and many other fields). It must stay science-oriented. Open access is crucial.

#LPS25 was a fantastic experience but let´s take a step back and reflect on the potential (and the role) of commercial EO data providers in contributing to pressing #sustainability challenges. Here´s a short recap of arguments from the scientific community: doi.org/10.1073/pnas...
