Workshops & Talks
I regularly speak at conferences. Topics I speak about:
Open Earth data - Interoperability of (cloud-based) data systems - User Engagement - Jupyter notebooks & Education - Google Earth Engine - Diversity in the geospatial field.
I also run hands-on workshops mainly on analysing large volumes of open Earth data with Python and Jupyter notebooks.
Podcast episodes I have been invited to:
2023 The Practical Democracy Podcast: I sat down with Sabine Groven from the Practical Democracy Podcast and discussed diversity in the geospatial field, why I started Women+ in Geospatial and how to tackle unconscious biases. Tune in here.
2022 TerraWatch Space podcast: I sat down with Aravind Ravichandran from the TerraWatch Space podcast and chatted about Interoperability, Standards & training in Earth Observation. Tune in here.
2022 Geomob podcast: I sat down with Ed Freyfogle from the Geomob Podcast and talked about all the exciting new developments in the Earth Observation domain. Tune in here.
2020 The MapScaping Podcast: I sat down with Daniel O’Donohue from The MapScaping Podcast and talked all things Project Jupyter: what it is, why it is great and how it can boost the reproducibility of your research.
Tune in on Apple, Android or Spotify.
