Digital Earth Pacific Cloud Native Geospatial Infrastructure for Earth Observation
summary
Cloud-native geospatial infrastructure ingests Landsat, Sentinel and climate models, runs on Pangeo containers and a hybrid mix of open data cube and xarray tools, and initially uses Microsoft Planetary Computer data then shifts to AWS. It produces 22 years of coastline change (the Pacific islands combine to ~10% of global coastline), seven years of mangrove density, and water-observation drought/flood products; all outputs are public, deployed, used in national planning, and backed by six capacity workshops with 71 participants (~50% female).
