Strategic use of solar arrays could provide financial boost, help farmers continue producing crops and even save water As farmers debate whether fields should be used for agriculture or solar panels, new research from Michigan State University says the answer could be both. Jake Stid, a graduate student in the College of Natural Science Hydrogeology Lab, analyzed remote sensing and aerial imagery to study how fields have been used in California for the last 25 years. Using databases to estimate revenues and costs, Stid found that farmers who used a small percentage of their land for solar arrays were more financially secure per acre than those who didn't. Crops or solar? His research, now published in Nature Sustainability, could provide a new roadmap to solvency for farmers struggling to pay the bills. Instead of converting entire fields to solar arrays, Stid hopes this research will help more farmers decide to keep producing crops by strategically placing arrays on lower-yield spots in their fields. "The conversation shouldn't be as much about solar or agriculture, but solar and agriculture," Stid said. "They can work together, and it can be a collaboration rather than a conflict." Stid's work with solar panels began when he joined the lab of Anthony Kendall, an MSU assistant professor who's also a co-author on the paper. Kendall saw Stid working with Google Earth Engine, a public satellite-image database and cloud computing tool. A casual suggestion that Stid try to pinpoint solar panels on the landscape sparked his curiosity. He narrowed his focus to the California region for multiple reasons. The state boasts some of the most valuable and productive agricultural land in the United States, and it's a nationwide leader in solar energy production and installation. As increasingly extreme weather threatens food, energy and water resources, new energy sources have emerged, such as solar, to help decrease carbon emissions. The solar boom has led to concerns of reduced food production, especially as an expanding population and growing consumption place a greater strain on agriculture. Because of these competing interests, some farmers have turned to what's called a colocation method: purposefully installing solar arrays alongside crops to maximize the landscape's production. Stid wanted to find out how these colocated installations affected a farmer's bottom line and how that compared to conventional solar arrays where entire fields are turned into solar farms versus farms that continue to grow crops with no solar. "We're taking a balanced approach to not just focus on the negatives or the positives, but to take them both together to look more deeply at what people are actually doing on the landscape," Stid said. "We're asking what it means and how we can better plan for the future." The team used the solar panel footprint in California previously published by Stid in 2022. From there, they used available data sets to calculate that 86,000 people could have been fed by what's now solar-occupied land. Then, they used crop cost studies from the University of California-Davis, U.S. annual crop prices, the California Water Rights Fee and other data to calculate the average farmer's costs and revenue. They modeled solar electricity production from each installation to estimate how much of a farmer's costs could be offset by selling energy back to the grid. The results confirmed their hypothesis - farmers who used a few acres of land for solar arrays had more financial stability than those who took an all-or-nothing approach to solar. They spent less on fertilizer, water and farming supplies, and the income from selling energy from their solar arrays made up for the decrease in crops produced. They were even likely to save water by offsetting irrigation, which could benefit the water-stressed region. "If I'm a farmer, these two acres of solar arrays are going to pay me a certain amount of money throughout the year," Stid said. "I d...

This is an interview with a senior data scientist from Hub Ocean, a platform that aims to unlock and unite ocean data. Hub Ocean - as the name suggests is a hub for ocean data  Now we have talked about these kinds of data hubs before on the podcast - Sentinal Hub - a data hub for earth observation data, Microsoft Planetary Computer, Google Earth Engine, Open Topography is data but for topography data …. The concept is not new but also not easy to implement and if they work, these types of data hubs have a gravity to them that becomes more powerful over time. One of the guiding concepts behind these data hubs seems to be the idea of FAIR data - Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reuseable data   …. But its not enough to ensure that the data is fair I think we should also consider how we can make the results of our research Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reuseable data  If you are not already familiar with Cloud Optimised Geospatial formats it is worth checking out these two episodes.  https://mapscaping.com/podcast/cloud-optimized-point-clouds/ https://mapscaping.com/podcast/cloud-native-geospatial/

Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables computers and systems to derive meaningful information from digital images.    You might think that this is exactly what we are doing in earth observation but there are a few important differences between computer vision and what some people refer to as GeoAI.   This week Jordi inglada is going to help you understand what those differences are and why it's not always possible to use Computer vision techniques in the field of Remote Sensing.   Listen out for these key points during the conversation! Why plausible or realistic data is not always a substitute for actual measurements, except when it is ;)  In computer vision we can learn from the data, in earth observation we know the physics To do interesting work in data science you need to - Computer science, applied math, and domain expertise. You don't need to be an expert in all three but you need to be interested in all three Vectors in the machine learning world don't necessarily have anything to do with points lines and polygons ;)   Sponsored by Sinergise, as part of Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem knowledge sharing. dataspace.copernicus.eu/ http://dataspace.copernicus.eu/   Related Podcast Episodes   Super Resolution https://mapscaping.com/podcast/super-resolution-smarter-upsampling/ Fake Satellite Imagery https://mapscaping.com/podcast/fake-satellite-imagery/   Sentinal Hub https://mapscaping.com/podcast/sentinel-hub/ Google Earth Engine  https://mapscaping.com/podcast/introducing-google-earth-engine/   Microsofts Planetary Computer  https://mapscaping.com/podcast/the-planetary-computer/   BTW MapScaping has started a Job Board!  it's in the early stages but it's live Jobs - Mapscaping.com        

Wildlife conservation efforts may not be the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks about opportunities to use artificial intelligence and machine learning. But Dave Thau, data and technology lead scientist at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), can share myriad examples of how these technologies are helping our planet. On this episode, Dave joins Sam and Shervin to discuss WWF's many uses of AI and machine learning. Among them are applications that predict deforestation, analyze images from motion-sensitive cameras to identify species, optimize wildlife patrols to catch poachers, and reduce the illegal wildlife trade online. These conservation efforts are not only supported by nonprofit partners with shared goals but by tech-company partners that are sharing advanced AI technologies. Read the episode transcript here.

This week, Googler Denise Pearl and NGIS Executive Director Nathan Eaton join hosts Alexandrina Garcia-Verdin and Donna Schut to talk about how modern technology and data collection can significantly enhance environmental protection practices. Denise starts the show with a thorough explanation of geo-spatial awakening and how Google is making its backend geo services like Google Earth Engine more usable for Google Cloud customers. With better data, easier access, and substantially more cloud compute power, companies are awakening to the possibilities of geo-spatial driven projects that analyze not just text but photographic data as well. Thousands of satellites collect information about Earth every day, and companies are realizing just how much of this data is available for their own sustainability, geo-centric, and location-based projects. Geo-spatial, Nathan explains, can help combine layers of text and photo data based on one location for a richer, more robust view of a particular location in real time. As a geo-spatial partner with Google for a decade, NGIS has had experience using Earth Engine, Google Maps, and more to help Google Cloud customers use this data in meaningful ways. Because most projects involve analyzing locations as they change over time, companies need massive storage and processing power for their data. This is only made possible with the recent advances in infrastructure afforded by the cloud. With these amazing advances in technology, Denise and Nathan are seeing more and more exciting use cases. Companies are taking this data and making meaningful decisions for their future and the future of the planet. Sustainability goals like limiting deforestation in the supply chain can be made and measured. Climate change models can be created and applied. And all of this can be done quickly. Nathan and Denise talk about TraceMark, the sustainable sourcing solution built by NGIS and made to integrate flexibly with customer projects. Consumers are increasingly aware of their affect on the environment and are pushing for change. With TraceMark, companies are able to see the environmental impact of their supply chain partners and make changes in line with customer values. These decisions can influence the growth of the company as well, as suppliers are vetted and chosen based on sustainability and availability. We hear about the building of TraceMark and the challenges the team overcame. Denise runs through some features of the software and how users can take advantage of them. Our guests give some great tips for organizations to get started with their data-driven sustainability goals, and Nathan talks about what's next with NGIS and TraceMark. Nathan Eaton As Executive Director at NGIS, Nathan has worked with hundreds of clients to deliver fit for purpose, innovative solutions. Nathan leads our GIS capabilities and stakeholder management including consulting with a range of large multinational companies and federal government departments. Most recently, Nathan has led the development, build and launch of TraceMark, a SaaS sustainable sourcing solution from NGIS, Google Cloud and partners Planet and CARTO.

On the podcast this week, Mark Mirchandani and Carter Morgan host guests Chad Jennings and Joel Conkling in a fascinating discussion about Earth Engine and performing geospatial processing to help companies become more environmentally conscious. Google’s geospatial functionality is some of the most advanced in the world, and with the Next announcements, commercial companies can now take advantage of this with tools like Earth Engine and in Cloud analytics offerings like BigQuery. Together, these tools make the three pillars of geospatial cloud: analysis of vector data with tools like CloudSQL or BigQuery, analysis of image data with Earth Engine, and taking advantage of the data assets. This geospatial analysis helps us understand the world and how it’s changing, then apply this information to make important, environmentally friendly decisions. As a key part of this system, Earth Engine is a geospatial data-processing platform specializing in the analysis of satellite images and other image data. It provides access to over 800 datasets and processing software that scales to planetary-scale analysis. At Next, Google announced Earth Engine availability for commercial use. Our guests talk about the applications of this in the real world, from the effect of climate risk on a financial portfolio to locations most susceptible to forest fire. Chad and Joel tell us about the sources of Earth Engine’s data, the pre-processing work done to the images collected, and the ease of data sharing between platforms. By working with BigQuery, users have access to additional datasets and analytics tools as well. Google clients are taking this data and creatively using the information to make meaningful decisions. Insurance companies, for example, analyze data to assess flood risk, while the U.S. Forest Service uses the platform to advance their mission of sustainable forest management. Unilever uses Earth Engine in their commitment to zero additional deforestation in their supply chain, and our guests talk more about the Next presentation with Unilever. Additional BigQuery announcements at Next can be leveraged in Earth Engine as well, and new features such as Analytics Hub make accessing datasets even easier. Google works to meet users where they are and make tools easy to use from day one. Earth Engine’s data processing, scalability, and more make it easy for users to focus on the analysis rather than the prep work. Our guests offer advice for getting started with Earth Engine and BigQuery and share a little about Climate Engine. Chad Jennings Chad came to Google from the startup world doing big data navigation processing and research. Working at the intersection of geospatial and big data at Google Cloud is a marvelous place to work. Joel Conkling Joel is the Product Manager for both Earth Engine and Environmental Insights Explorer and has worked at Google since 2010.

Mark Mirchandani is back this week with cohost Bukola Ayodele. We’re talking with Eric Schmidt and Bruno Aziza about all the awesome new analytics, data, and AI launches from last week’s Google Cloud Next conference. Our guests start the show outlining the challenges clients face when storing, organizing, and analyzing data in the cloud. These needs have inspired Google solutions that focus on simplifying data management for customers. Next announcements like BigQuery Omni, which helps customers achieve full data visibility with cross-cloud analytics, and DataPlex, which facilitates data management at scale, will change the way companies think about their data. BigQuery integration with AppSheets and the new Cloud Looker LookML let customers build once and access from anywhere. The new Looker and Tableau integration revolutionizes the use of the semantic model in Tableau, allowing things like company-established data governance and the Looker Blocks ecosystem to pull into Tableau analysis. New Looker Blocks specifically targeted to the healthcare industry were also introduced at Next. We talk about the ML announcements including Vertex AI Workbench, a fully-managed service used for data exploration aimed at simplifying the workloads of data engineers. Serverless Spark on Google Cloud shares these goals by making performance tuning, scaling, infrastructure provisioning, and other tasks fully-managed. The new PostgreSQL interface for Spanner lets clients use tools already developed in PostgreSQL while leveraging the global scaling and other benefits of Spanner. Bruno and Eric share some favorite customer stories as we wrap up this week’s episode. Albertson’s, Renault, and others have interesting data journeys on Google Cloud and our listeners can learn more in the YouTube series hosted by Bruno. Eric Schmidt Eric is the the Head of Advocacy for Data Analytics at Google and has been at Google for almost eight years. Previously, he was with Microsoft, where he led Advocacy and Evangelism there, too.
