• S15E2: Is the future of geospatial in the cloud? A conversation with Dr. Brianna R. Pagán

  Welcome to Season 15, during which we will host a series of conversations around the question: 'Is the future of geospatial in the cloud?' With ever increasing amounts of satellite data and computational power available, moving geospatial workflows to the cloud opens the doors to powerful insights. But what does it take to really switch to doing things in a cloud-native way? Let's find out together. In this episode, we talk to Dr. Brianna R. Pagán, Deputy Manager of the NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data Information Centre. In her current role, Brianna is responsible for orchestrating the transition to the cloud while managing various engineering, science, and data curation teams. She has also recently been appointed as an Editorial Board member of the Cloud-Native Geospatial Forum. Brianna shares about her career trajectory, her reflections on the intersection of technology, climate change and social justice, why she believes that the future of geospatial is all about collaboration and how the cloud is one piece of the puzzle… --- Sign-up for our Cloud-Native Geospatial 101 training and use the exclusive discount code CNGPODCAST - https://bit.ly/geospatial_cloud   --- More about Brianna: Website - https://www.briannapagan.com/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianna-r-pagán-phd-8a49a46b  More about Openscapes - https://openscapes.org/   More about the NASA TOPS initiative - https://science.nasa.gov/open-science/tops/    Watch this episode on YouTube - https://youtu.be/HB9ycjEsg0M  --- Season 15 of Scene from Above is brought to you by thriveGEO.

• S15E1: Is the future of geospatial in the cloud? A conversation with Jed Sundwall

  Welcome to Season 15, during which we will host a series of conversations around the question: 'Is the future of geospatial in the cloud?' With ever increasing amounts of satellite data and computational power available, moving geospatial workflows to the cloud opens the doors to powerful insights. But what does it take to really switch to doing things in a cloud-native way? Let's find out together. In the first episode, we talk to Jed Sundwall, the Executive Director of Radiant Earth. Jed has been instrumental in bringing open geospatial data to the cloud. Under Radiant Earth, he started two initiatives, the ‘CNG - the cloud-native geospatial forum’ and the ‘source cooperative’. In this conversation, Jed will shed some light on where he sees the geospatial industry heading... --- Sign-up for our Cloud-Native Geospatial 101 training and use the exclusive discount code CNGPODCAST - https://bit.ly/geospatial_cloud   --- Github discussion about the definition of cloud-native geospatial data - https://github.com/cloudnativegeo/cloudnativegeo.org/issues/18  More about Jed: Website - https://jed.co/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jedsundwall/  More about Radiant Earth - https://radiant.earth/  More about the Cloud-Native Geospatial Forum (CNG) - https://cloudnativegeo.org/    Watch this episode on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-86IH4DouY  --- Season 15 of Scene from Above is brought to you by thriveGEO.
