The Digital Earth Africa Waterbodies Monitoring Service is a robust service that has been co-designed with Digital Earth Africa users. For us, this is one of the most critical aspects of our innovations around Earth observation data sets: we aim to be relevant, to understand our user's needs, and to deliver to these. To the end result is a service that provides highly detailed and far-reaching information (both current and retrospective) on the continent’s waterbodies. The introduction of the API into the service, a user could, for example, request data on all waterbodies in a particular area, as well as the wet surface area time series for each of those waterbodies. From this, powerful and highly customised summaries can be created to allow the close monitoring of an individual waterbody, or to understand trends and the latest status of a collection of waterbodies. To find out how the Waterbodies Monitoring Service could assist your department, organisation, municipality or community, please reach out to us at communications@digitalearthafrica.org We encourage users to share their use cases on how they are using the Waterbodies Monitoring Service using the following form: https://ow.ly/xhMp50ShN9L Lisa-Maria Rebelo Michael Wellington Caitlin Adams Victoria Nyaga Fang Yuan Mpho Sadiki Kenneth Mubea Farrah Naidoo Edward Boamah Joseph Tuyishimire #waterbodies #innovation #eodata #africa #satelliteobservations

🌴 Hawai‘i’s beauty comes with unique challenges. Did you know that nearly all of our energy infrastructure depends on a single oil refinery and a limited pipeline network? A disruption caused by a natural disaster could ripple through essential services like hospitals, water pumping stations, and even first responders. Mark Glick, Stephen C. Walls and the Hawaii State Energy Office team has developed a award-winning tool, the Geospatial Decision Support System (GDSS), to quantify these risks and visualize the connections between critical infrastructure and the lifelines our communities rely on. As a Native Hawaiian and microgrid expert, I see the potential to rethink how we build resilience. Hawai‘i’s isolated geography underscores the need for innovative approaches that safeguard essential services and ensure energy independence. You know we'll be talking about this at #REPlusHawaii next week. Stay tuned for how Hawai‘i is turning these challenges into solutions that could inspire the world. 🌍 #EnergyResilience #Hawaii #Sustainability #CriticalInfrastructure #AJPerkins #MicrogridMentor

"To preserve the important intertidal areas and salt marshes off our coasts for the future, we need more turbid water... For his research, Grandjean linked decades of satellite measurements of tidal areas around the world with data on the turbidity of the water, which is also measured by satellites. Importantly, Grandjean has established a lower limit for the necessary turbidity of the water in deltas worldwide. A very clear relationship emerged in the long term: intertidal areas only grow when the water is turbid enough." - NIOZ Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research #satellitedata #water #turbidity #coast

Another huge #coastalresilience funding announcement from NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration: $220 Million for transformational #habitatrestoration. But this is still just a drop in the bucket of what’s needed. 35 #coastalstates and territories in the United States are preparing for changes along their entire coastlines that will require billions of dollars in restoration, and even more in resilience funding. https://lnkd.in/eEW43h_4
