Our workgroup focuses on sustainable landscape planning and resource management using geospatial analysis, machine learning, and modeling. Lead by @evelynuuemaa

We presented the initial Estonian Environmental Data Cube portal (geokuup.ee ) at the Estonian Spatial Planning Conference! This portal, developed under #FutureScapes & #WaterSmartLand (funded by #ETAG πŸ”¬), offers structured environmental data πŸ“Š for spatial planning

New study alert!🚨 We developed 5 Random Forest models with spatial strategies to predict soil organic carbon 🌍🌱Our top performer? Random Forest Spatial Interpolation for capturing spatial structure. Small but meaningful accuracy gains & spatial covariates often replaced others

🌍 We're building a #datacube @LGeoinformatics to integrate spatial data with varying resolutions. Resampling is key for aligning datasets with different resolutions, coordinate systems, or extents. Check out our quick cheat sheet for resampling tips! Have any suggestions?πŸ’¬
