About the seminar
What is the role of big data for sustainability? With his background in paleontology, environmental science, and mass extinctions, Kristopher Purens will talk about how corporate scientists can use geospatial analytics to help companies find sustainable solutions—while also helping the organizations become more efficient. Considering the rapid increase in the number of Earth's observation satellites in the past decade, geospatial analysis is entering a new era where big data tools are necessary to analyze and create value from this data. From classic use cases of crop monitoring, new satellites sensor types are empowering organizations to understand the carbon cycle and pollutant emissions, see through clouds, and more.
