​Webinar: Cloud-Native Geospatial - Introduction and Use Cases 

​Pacific region perspectives

​Welcome to the webinar series, “Cloud-Native Geospatial - Introduction and Use Cases,” hosted by the Cloud-Native Geospatial Foundation. Our series is dedicated to unraveling the potential of cloud-native solutions in geospatial data management, showcasing real-world applications and insights.

​In this webinar, moderated by Geospatial Data Scientist, Wei Ji Leong from Development Seed, we explore applications of cloud-native geospatial in the Pacific region. Alex Leith will provide a brief history of Ditial Earth platforms, and their journey to cloud-native geospatial. Leo Ghignone will introduce a cloud-native data platform for the Great Barrier Reef and discuss how to convert data with a diverse range of formats and structures to cloud-native Zarr and GeoParquet. Fang Yuan will introduce an ArcGIS toolkit that FrontierSI, in collaboration with our partners, has developed. This toolkit uses Digital Earth Australia's analysis-ready, cloud-native data to map groundwater-dependent vegetation and track changes in vegetation over time.
