AgReFed Data Harvester Workshop

About the Event

The AgReFed Data Harvester enables reusable workflows for data downloads, feature extraction and spatial-temporal processing of ecological and environmental data into ready-made datasets for machine learning and geospatial insight.

In this hands-on workshop, we will showcase:

1. automatic download and extraction of:
   • Landsat/Sentinel data via Google Earth Engine (e.g. seasonal NDVI)
   • national calibrated Landsat/Sentinel data via Digital Earth Australia (DEA) Geoscience Earth Observations
   • Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia (SLGA)
   • SILO Climate Database (e.g. temperature, rainfall)
   • National Digital Elevation Model (DEM) 1 arcsec
   • radiometric data
2. spatial and temporal extraction and processing from obtained datasets
3. visualisation of data layers and satellite images from Google Earth Engine
4. cloud-coverage masking for satellite image processing
5. wrangling points of interest into a machine learning-friendly format.

Target Audience

This workshop will be of interest to:

• researchers and students in Agriculture, Environmental Science, Geosciences
• others interested in working with geo-spatial datasets, especially via spatio-temporal processing of open environmental and satellite-derived data.

Additionally, anyone interested in joining an early-phase open-source project are encouraged to come and help develop.

Workshop Format

The workshop will be held online and take 3 hours (with breaks). Registered attendees will receive a Zoom link closer to the date.

Pre-requisites

A small amount of Python knowledge used within a Jupyter environment will be useful. An interactive online environment will be provided for users for the workshop (with installation instructions provided for those wishing to run things locally).
