 will be running a joint webinar on Jupyter notebooks for Capacity Development. 
The aim of this webinar is to introduce space agencies and environmental 
organisations worldwide to Jupyter Notebooks and take a tour of emerging 
services from CEOS agencies and their applications. We intend to illustrate how 
they can be used to support capacity development and the exploitation of Earth 
Observation data by a broad range of users. There will be two sessions via zoom 
to allow for global attendance.

Agenda

What are Jupyter Notebooks, and why they have the potential to support capacity 
development?

We will provide an overview of what a Jupyter Notebook is and the benefits of 
using one. We will demonstrate using a simple example of plotting sea surface 
temperature data, navigating an archive and adjusting the colour scale. We 
continue by describing the ways it is supported by open-source resources and by 
different types of platform/environment. We then discuss how collaborative 
research and activities such as international Hackathons can also be supported.

Jupyter Hub and Notebooks on Data Analysis Platforms:

We take a look at two examples from the UK’s JASMIN 
<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jasmin.ac.uk%2F&data=04%7C01%7Csz63%40leicester.ac.uk%7C0f4f373cf06c40a36b6608d92ce07abb%7Caebecd6a31d44b0195ce8274afe853d9%7C0%7C0%7C637590164918723196%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=atz%2FAJOCHViS6FrJZgeE%2Bo1BXHbz3%2FTmiOVlBJDA6vg%3D&reserved=0>
 Jupyter notebook service, which can access over 20 Petabytes of data on the 
CEDA 
archive<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ceda.ac.uk%2Fservices%2Fceda-archive%2F&data=04%7C01%7Csz63%40leicester.ac.uk%7C0f4f373cf06c40a36b6608d92ce07abb%7Caebecd6a31d44b0195ce8274afe853d9%7C0%7C0%7C637590164918723196%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=aB9HbXgqPWBht6AtbYG6xwaP5QeLJ%2BMSvaHj%2BMVH3tI%3D&reserved=0>.
 We take a look at the Sentinel 5p global archive of data and demonstrate how 
by using a very basic notebook, we can explore questions such as how did 
pollution levels change in large cities during the Pandemic. We then continue 
by looking at the smaller scale specialist example of regional NCEO 
<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nceo.ac.uk%2F&data=04%7C01%7Csz63%40leicester.ac.uk%7C0f4f373cf06c40a36b6608d92ce07abb%7Caebecd6a31d44b0195ce8274afe853d9%7C0%7C0%7C637590164918733154%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=3nWvmWm3if2nmCj4v7aOTOg%2BknT1h5gp4BaGxyBiC20%3D&reserved=0>
 biomass maps. We can demonstrate how in addition to obtaining domain-specific 
information from data, we can also train users on some technical aspects such 
as libraries, modules and shapefiles.

Open Data Cube and Google Earth Engine – A Jupyter Notebook Sandbox 
Demonstration

The Open Data Cube (ODC) Google Sandbox is a free and open programming 
interface that connects users to Google Earth Engine datasets. The open-source 
tool allows users to run Python application algorithms using Google’s Colab 
notebook environment. This demonstration will look at two examples Landsat 
applications focused on scene-based cloud statistics and historic water extent. 
Basic operation of the tool will support unlimited users for small-scale 
analyses and training but can also be scaled in size and scope with Google 
Cloud resources to support enhanced user needs.

ESA PGDS data cube and Times series Data

The ESA PDGS Data Cube is a pixel-based access service that enables human and 
machine-to-machine interfaces for Heritage Missions (HM), Third-Party Missions 
(TPM) and Earth Explorer (EE) datasets. The pixel-based access service provides 
the users with advanced retrieval capabilities such as time series extraction, 
data subsetting, mosaicking, band combinations and indexes generation (e.g. 
NDVI, anomalies, …) directly from the EO-SIP packages with no need of data 
duplication or data preparation.

In addition to the Explorer web-based graphic user interface, the ESA PDGS Data 
Cube service also provides the Jupyter processing environment to allow users to 
import, write and execute code that runs close to the data. This demonstration 
will showcase how to retrieve Soil Moisture time-series using the Jupyter 
environment in order to generate thematic maps (monthly anomalies map) over an 
area of interest. The benefit of using the pixel-based service with respect to 
traditional access services in term of resources usage will be also highlighted.

Earth Analytics and Interoperability Lab – Big Data Processing

The CEOS Earth Analytics Interoperability Lab (EAIL) is a platform for CEOS 
projects to test interoperability in a live EO ecosystem. EAIL is hosted on 
Amazon Web Services and includes facilities for Jupyter notebooks, scalable 
compute infrastructure for integrated analysis and data pipelines that can 
connect to new and existing CEOS data discovery and access services. This 
demonstration will show how we use Jupyter notebooks with the python Dask 
library to efficiently compute and perform large-scale analyses (10s GB) with 
interactive plotting and scalable compute resources in EAIL.

Capacity Development Panel and Discussion

Kenton Ross from NASA’s Capacity Building and Applied Sciences Program will 
lead discussions with a panel of international experts. We will explore the 
needs of EO data users worldwide and how this can be supported by CEOS agencies.

  *   Wednesday 21st July 14:00 – 16:20 UTC Panelists: Edward Boamah (Digital 
Earth Africa), Sean McCartney (NASA DEVELOP)
  *   Thursday 22nd July  02:00 – 04:20 UTC Panelists: Edward Boamah (Digital 
Earth Africa), Franz Meyer (University of Alaska Fairbanks)

Speakers: Kenton Ross (NASA), Yousuke Ikehata (JAXA), Esther Conway 
(NCEO/UKSA), Brian Killough (SEO/NASA), Giuseppe Troina (ESA), Matt Paget
