Towards the establishment of a new opensource geospatial remote sensing VRE
González-Aranda, Juan Miguel
Towards the establishment of a new opensource geospatial remote sensing VRE for e-Biodiversity Ecosystem Services and Climate Change modelling and adaptation LifeWatch ERIC e-Science panEuropean Infrastructure for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research "lifewatch" is mainly aimed to facilitate the access to their distributed data, information and knowledge resources and services, also providing modelling capabilities for understanding the complexity of associated Climate Change processes for research and adaptation purposes, as well as addressed to decision makers and citizen scientists. One of our VREs focuses on the historical time-series study and climate change projections at high resolution, which will be generated by dynamical downscaling of the General Circulation Models (GCMs). To this purpose, the regional climate model Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) will be used to simulate high-mountains areas climate scenarios, and thus, solving the limitations of the vast spatial resolution of GCMs. The observational database will validate present WRF models-based simulations. This will create high-res regionalized projections in high mountains areas using the state-of-art of open-source geospatial tools.
 Yeah. One, two, three. Yeah. Okay. Perfect. Yes. Go ahead. We can hear, we can hear you and see you. Okay. Would you like to share those again? It's just. Use the presentation right now. Yes, we're ready for you to start to give the presentation. If you'd like to share that with us again. Get that back up on stage for you. Thank you so much. So. Here you go. Okay. Please go ahead. So thank you so much. Thank you. My presentation is entitled toward the establishment of a new open source spatial remote sensing virtual research environments for e by diversity ecosystem services and climate change modeling adaptation. Well, it's a little bit long, but you will understand why. So I am talking here not only on my behalf, but also on behalf of the community. And I am talking about the structure of biodiversity and ecosystem research. In fact, we want connections there are a lot of connections with lighting as you know, well with the work with natural is a university master as well with Buenos Aires, many people worldwide. So I will explain you later. And this presentation focusing on the spatial observation will be very interesting from the point of view of how to show open source developments. Many, many developments. Many, many developments that code design code deployment majors. So I'm going to try to move the area. What all of us have clear ideas about that we're living in certain ecosystems, core sharing core system, but species, the factors of the scale of the Earth. And that there are five big, there is a few big five hot ecological topics we are talking about biodiversity, climate change, our environmental laws, invasive and spaces component but also taking into account that all the nature all the system or the system can be considered as a complex system to model taking into account what is either a sphere, lithosphere, atmosphere and the high nonlinear processes happening over there. And this is important to address this complexity because we need to in turn address the environmental challenges and support knowledge basis strategic solutions to environmental preservation in particular the biodiversity laws that we are experiencing in a context of more than evident climate change. So, I will go step by step. I'm going to explain to you introduce what is about the ecosystem services cascade from biodiversity to human well being. What is true, what is very clear is that we need to assess and monitor the ecosystem functions, the ecological processes and the biodiversity of humans well being depends on. We go to biodiversity and ecological processes and we need to understand how the ecosystem functions are working in order to further provide sustainable ecosystem services to guarantee the benefits for humans and preservation of the entire Earth system. You may be now better than me that there is a big sister initiative called I guess, the intruvenimental science policy platform on biodiversity and ecosystem services and there are a new model paradigm of the economics of biodiversity and ecosystem. The so-called TV since 2010. Because we need to understand based on this new paradigm, the environment limits ecosystem resilience and relationships among biodiversity and ecosystem services. We need to understand that to provide, to make a feedback, a proper feedback to preserve and to live in harmony with nature. Based on observations, based on observations of what? Well, as you know well, sustainable development goals are not per se. They are there in order to guarantee the human well being. And the human well being is related to the preservation of nature and the consistent with nature. And that consistent with nature depends on the way we understand the ecosystem functions and the services that are working there. And now how we can feedback with the provision of proper sustainable ecosystem services. As you can see here, we have identified our matrix. You know, the one hand and one axis, you can see the identification of certain sustainable development goals. And on the other, the assessment of 12 key ecosystem services by a survival best period identifying a minimum of 231 extra dependencies of sustainable development goals targets on a multiple ecosystem services. Well, see the legend on the right, please. Level support for a contribution. Many of them are not certainly well assessed yet. So we need to be based on fair data, findable, accessible, interoperable, and reasonable, which are the basis of scientific evidence to understand how to guarantee in a proper way this tacit knowledge derived from the fact of how can we provide these sustainable development goals. Why? And these ecosystem based approaches. Must be based through an urgent and concerted force fostering transformative change and transformative change in which policy making institutional processes and regulatory framework. At the same time that society, capacity, and knowledge, economic systems, ecosystem and natural resource management are working all over together. All together. And this is like what Eric about the watch Eric is about a European is science distributed infrastructure on biodiversity and ecosystem research in order to create this regulatory framework, this framework. In order to understand what is going on, what's the impact of global climate change on earth by diversity and ecosystem research as a structure in tour the European research area by means of providing the state of art of ICT, the data, the learning, intelligence, computing, blockchain, money in an organized manner. What do I mean? This that based on the global biodiversity informatics outlooks by my colleague and dear friend, how many Thales in 2012, like what Eric is on the top layer on the understanding, based on the culture, data and scientific evidence on understanding from the point of view of how can we we can build model representations of biodiversity patterns and properties based on any possible evidence and in turn, based on the following components, which is case based modeling trends and predictions, modeling biological system association dissemination, privacy, new data capture on all of this. We can put together all of them into let's say software software systems. So called the select is very funny why we decided to call the select the evolution of a cube, a meta cube is the select. As a new model, new paradigm or with the research environments and life block chain system, our system, not only address to citation, the hesitation provenant anti tampering, but also tokenization, socio economics tokenization of ecosystem services. Now I'm going to the solutions step by step. Why because of this because of that since 17 on March of 2017 we are considered as a European is science European research infrastructure for the city research composed for certain number of member states from European Union, based on the council regulation. At the moment, we are Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, and almost almost to be full member Cyprus, Republic of Ireland, Israel, Slovakia, Ukraine, and Romania. We have our headquarters and the main ICT coordination office here in Spain and the Lucía region, Sevilla, Malaga, today we are here in Malaga. The service center is in the region in Puglia, in Italy, the southern Italy, and the virtual labs and innovation center is settled in Amsterdam, the Netherlands without forgetting the regional components of the European Union as you know as well. And we are not walking alone. Of course, we are working with our sisters and brothers from the global biodiversity information facility, Sevilla, the research that aliens, Copernicus, the European Union, the European Open Science Club, the famous AOS group maybe heard about another, there are a lot of things I couldn't stop all night telling you all night all day that in Buenos Aires, all the people. At the same time, now we have been specifically requested by the European commission about the Green Deal chapter and one of the Green Deal chapters in turn is the biodiversity chapter, biodiversity because biodiversity is everywhere. It's about the ecosystems providing food, fresh water, clean air, shelter and mitigating natural disasters best to assist and help regulate the climate. That's clear. At the same time, we are experiencing Europe and throughout the world a new digitization process. This is the case in the industrial 4.0, there was a 5.0 industrialization in Europe where digital innovation hubs, regulations and skills plus from our coming all together, take into account that the quadruple elix of innovation where academy, private companies including small and medium companies, civil society organizations, must come all together in a transdisciplinary way to understand what is going on. It's not about pure research. Research is data cannot be in a box isolated there. Decision makers must take affordable, reliable decision making processes for professional professional services of environment based on data. Entrepreneurs, ICT environmental companies must take decisions on that and citizen scientists must be aware of the importance of preservation environment by including an intergenerational approach for the elderly people, the children. That's clear. So capacity building, capacity building is essential. We need to create an analog catalog, training education and increase volume, mapping strategy research area, competence and skills. And always thinking that the psychology of the people are different because they got different approaches to the problem of biodiversity and ecosystem preservation. It's not the same approach of a researcher, a public administration decision maker and an entrepreneur or citizen scientist. That's more clear. We must satisfy the user's requirement worldwide on the fact of that indigenous knowledge from one side or the globalization are affecting different ways from the knowledge, organizational knowledge way, the way we tackle with the problem of preservation by diversity and ecosystem services. That's the reason that we are having identified as one of the first priority research infrastructure from the EULAQ, the European Union, Latin America and Caribbean working group. These are some nice pictures in Doniana, here in Andalusia, there in Costa Rica. And at the same time we are leaders, let's say in the subgroup from Green Delizus to foster the creation of a partnership from Green Transition and Energy Act between the European Union and the African Union. In fact, the seven agenda conclusions and the forthcoming COP 27 illustrate the biodiversity as a vital and critical component of the European Union public policy agenda in Europe and globally in Europe for the future. What does it mean? Together we are strong. We cannot face global challenges that can't be changed alone. And here we go. This is a conceptual paper signed by myself, and I am from the United States of Korea, Walter Adink, Tim Hitch, Christopher Ben Thittis, Tony Jose, Saint Alvarez, Peter Schork. They are wiser than me in the field of e-biodiversity, facing e-biodiversity challenges together as a real framework based on how JVF, Disco, Ida Dio, Setup, TdwG, and like what's Eric, we have agreed to deal with the challenge of preservation of biodiversity based on the best state of art of ICT. And step by step, my friends, I will go to the observations. A little bit of patience. Let's go. Again, the select and the block. Why? Because you can, this is key on the right, on the left. I don't know if you can see with enough resolution. You go there, citizens, government, the pre-nursing researchers, that's right. On the other hand, you got essential biodiversity variables, environmental ecology, environmental economic domains, and then you got different ICT here components. And you need to find a way, a user-friendly way to provide to the users on the top. Researchers, decision makers, entrepreneurs, citizens, what do they need? One of those components is related to remote sensing, is related to observations. And how through those tools, we can compose the proper workflow services through the semantic composition mechanisms, taking into account that on one side we got a blockchain system to have the flexibility of the resources that we are engaging in a distributed manner, databases, software, publication, media, on a certain topic. And at the same time, we need to guarantee the connection to the bit-file of the cloud computing, to the European Open Science Cloud, or either the European Open Science Cloud, or either the EuroHPC, the supercomputing, when they need to launch any process for modeling any supercomputing requirement. So, resources layer, infrastructure layer, composition layer, application layer, and finally, user layer, step by step. This is how it's set up. But let's go a little bit step forward. We need to deal, tackle with the problems, the perspective of the scale and the heterogeneity challenges. What does it mean? We are talking the scale. Micro, meso, macro scale, biodiversity is not the same to measure with an nano or microsensor, something that is a little bit, as you know, well, the 96% of the biodiversity in the world is microbial, bacteria, virus, fungi, etc., many fungi. The mesoscale is the world we are living in, the macro we are approaching to the geo scale, to the observations. And then the heterogeneity measure of data, metadata resources involved. It's not the same, analyzing with remote sensing we are doing every day, and how to connect to create synergies with environmental on field samples, or annotations in a notebook on the field. Damage change monitoring, environmental observation networks, well-working data, grid data, and agroecology, this Latin American Caribbean and Africa context by promoting those eight tools based on two paradigms, green and blue initiatives. And this is a very conceptual scheme based on a Mediterranean forest on how we can do this from the perspective of a nano sensor, micro sensor, till the mesoscale, the coordination of the edge computing, based on edge computing techniques, and the combination finally with the remote sensing. And the remote sensing, why? Because for the perspective of the Earth observation, we are talking about oceans, land, air. We're talking about how to measure in oceans, chlorophyll, salinity, surface temperature, how in the land we can measure net primary productivity, the MPP, from the air perspective, air source, rain forest, no, night lights, light pollution, more important than the people think, believe me, my friends. And how from the under the umbrella of United Nations, we can foster the collaboration through the Space for Sustainable Development Goals objective. Because as the former Secretary-General and the current Antonio Gutierrez Secretary-General of the United Nations said, we must challenge climate change skeptics who deny the facts. We need to guarantee that safe operation in space for humanity, planetiwonderies. And just saying remote observations are essential. The people today here, you are essential to understand in a global way how it's affecting every part locally. Why? Because the remote sensing and net observations from the geopolitical scope allows to compare different geopolitical scenarios in different parts of the world. Facilitates the development of Europe to collaborate with other countries. That's very important. Taking consideration the successful developments of GeoVon and YuVon initiatives, the group of Earth observations by the rest of the Sub-Energetic Network, we are partnered with, of the United Nations Outer Office Space Agency, UNOS initiative, Copernicus, NASA, and last but not least, the one which is gathering all of them, the Space for Sustainable Development Goals objectives. This is an example of remote sensing across borders on this observation and now open source scaling, explained by this. This is the south of Europe, the north of Africa, we're talking about Spain, territory, Morocco, territory. We are now facing the same problem of an invasive species with a one-dice, pandemic-dice, which is called Phytotoracinamomium. Phytotoracinamomium is the acor-tree drawback. It's destroying all of our ecosystems. In addition to Sierra Fasteosa with the olive trees, it's a disaster. We're sharing it with different geopolitical, but similar ecological forces, these projects. This is the big issue, the big thing of using open source, big to recess standards, from which we can provide the proper remote sensing tools. Let's go a little bit further. Taking into account the importance of the metadata catalogs, how we guarantee for the ecological point of view, and we're talking about ethnologies, hydrologies, etaphologies, different chapters of biodiversity and preservation, the citation, the metadata catalogs, the training catalog for the people, the capacity building to the people who are supposed to use this. I remind you, Kali reminds you, researchers, decision makers, the citizen scientists and the partners, the semantic approach of what we are referring to, what about the person who identifies to identify the data, and to have a clear perspective of the data we're talking about, in a unibook way without any depth of what we're considering. That's why we're a key partners of European Open Science and both, and also recessed that alliance. And then when we want everything and we're composing the services, how we can use artificial intelligence and data tools. For instance, with FAO, we're collaborating in all what is related to forest, with a accuracy of almost 70% for remote sensing studies. Our colleagues from Brazil are from Granada here in Andalusia. How we can use this remote sensing, this open source tools, to provide faster identification of cetaceans, whales, these special detections. And last but not least, for instance, one of the key issues we're dealing with is an internal joint initiative of non-indigenous and alien species. We're talking about the detection of artificial reformatory systems, and Lantus Altissima, that is a bad wits, we used to say, but wits affecting northern ecosystems, and a lactic ecosystem in Europe. On the levels of invasive crustaceans, we are talking about the blue crustaceans, the blue crab. The macroalchoatecifolia and the cilandreocumurae, which is an exotic algae coming from the asianic areas, affecting South America and Europe, and changing drastically and not for good, and basically the ecosystem there, the biotopes in general terms, and the Mediterranean forest, in the case of Phytotracinamomy, as I could tell you before. These are results, open results, free open developments that you can access through our web page, web portal, of course, there's a mechanism of accession, you send us an email, we'll be grant you, you will have this access to these services, and we'll be able to access them. So, we're, remote sensing is essential, for instance, here, this is an example, some snap captures of the screens, which we are talking about crustacean problems in the Mediterranean, in basin, or how they be in basin in the cities of Sarbatores, citizens signs, survival, DNA, and remote sensing primary observations, we are identifying previously being basin, and it's very valuable, my friends, the EVBs, in particular in collaboration with our colleagues from the University of Asterham, and the University from Yuba, and our colleagues from Leiden, and the reports units in countries and eco-regions, in order to define the future possible scenarios as a way to help biodiversity change indicators. So, we are forecasting what is going on to happen in that ecosystem services, and of course, remote sensing and output understanding of remote sensing, and Earth observation access, and essential to get these objectives. And we are using blockchain systems in all of this, in order to guarantee traceability, anti-tempering, and provide the proper socioeconomic tokenization of those ecosystem services. This is a video, I will not play the video because it took two minutes, how the blockchain is working, but I think you know better than me how it's working, but for instance, one of the samples we are using is about the socioeconomic valorization, jointly with the EVBs, or the Sodor Asbora, as we try to open it as well, Sodor Asbora Parva, as this is a basic, very specific, came in from Asia, you can see here the map throughout the European continent, and how we can, and this is, we are working right now for information. So, I will start this one. Well, this is making a strange thing as a comment, because I have a bad video within the PowerPoint, and I hope it's not crashing. I don't think we're going to have time for a video, I'm afraid, when we get this, but we're getting close to the end of the session, and I want to make sure we've got a little bit of time. Yeah, I'm finished, yeah, I'm in trouble. I'm going to be scared because, ah, video, Microsoft, don't tell a lot of, ah, so I'm going to, I'm going to wait, so I will open again, no problem. Microsoft is not responding as usual, wow. I'm an open source defender, and I'm using today, because this is our office desktop laptop for the traveling, you know, PowerPoint, but I'm finished, now I'm going to again open, no problem, I'm almost finishing, because I will go to the PowerPoint, and I wanted to have an enthusiastic presentation in order to get the people, users, yes, you to collaborate with us, because... Yes, you've shared a lot, you've, you've referenced some really big global collaborations, in European collaborations. We believe, we believe in collaboration, that's the only hope for our, to save our planet. But I, we are, this knowledge, open knowledge, is the only way forward. So if we zoom in on the open source aspects of what you're trying to establish, open source for geospatial theory, what's the best way for people to engage with you? I will tell you, because I'm one of the founders of the open source movement here in Andalusia, in the so-called Linux, the Guadalinix, maybe you have heard about that, we have given service to three different million children, people worldwide, during the last years, facing open standards. Well, I will go to the United Nations, you know, there were several, after the video, by diversity and ecosystem, perhaps one who we're collaborating, you know, the UNOSA, United Nations, linking space and life community in Latin America and Caribbean Africa, but in particular, because it's very important to take it on the multi-component approach to natural conservation and management in times of rapid change, where scientists, natural managers, and policymakers must be done. I invite you to go to a co-potential project that you, one of the Light Watch Eric related projects, which results, we are integrating, open source, my friend research, they are available there, but we're integrating research, our winter research environments, the co-potential project, but by the way, I will share for free openly my presentation, of course. Well, no, of course, and I would like to contact you from now on, all my team, your disposal, that's our work for pressure. All the relationships between land-surface temperature, density, and normalized difference vegetation index, with some spectacular, they'll say, NDVRI results for spatial and seasonal patterns in vegetation, they are limiting in Europe. This can be extrapolated or transferred worldwide as well. This is our remote sense, with open standards. We are working with a critical zone, is there the skin living where rock meets life, because it's very important to understand that this open development are dealing with the place where physics, chemistry, hydrology, eco-hydrology, geology, and biology closely interact. And this must be open source as well. We're applying the deep learning and sending NDV to protect habitats under the weather framework direct to European. Here is one of our publications. We're talking about how we use due to very high resolution images, plus convolutional neural networks to establish precise map maps in Africa with a high cost. Thank you, Amiga. We have a question for you from one of our audience members in Argentina about how they can get in touch with you to collaborate. Of course, these are our coordinates in touch. Why? Because Argentina is very important from the European Union that can even cooperate. It's very important. We're now collaborating with what is called the Alianza del Pastital, Rio de la Plata, in collaboration also with Ruguay, Bolivia Paraguay, all these countries Paraguay and Chile. And we are eager for cooperation. In fact, I would like to invite you to the United Nations General Assembly, 76th edition, General Assembly edition, dealing with sustainable development goals, 14 and 15, that is life underwater, life on earth, that it's going to take place the day after tomorrow, October 1st at 1.00 or 7.00 PM. And I would like to start you a key message. We have right now the best generation ever with the best skills on ICT, on open source developments, we are training there. We must foster cooperation. Please, be free of contact us to start new projects. It's a new MDC, Neighborhood Development Cooperation instrument to be granted, very well granted by the European Union. And now we have an excellent opportunity to foster collaboration on open source development to preserve biodiversity and ecosystem research. I like what Sherry has, Johnny Disco, JV, from all the research infrastructure, sister research infrastructure, we got the mission to do that. And we need you. We need you. On that call for we need you. Sadly, we need to wrap up our session, but for me, can people contact you via the website? Is that the best way for people to reach you at the Erech, live watch Erech website? Yes. And we need to connect with all of these amazing initiatives. We are not optimistic. We are enthusiastic. There is a difference. Thank you. We believe in people, we believe in data, we believe in interoperability between the people, the data, the researches and the psychology, emotional psychology of the people. Because after this lockdown, what we have learned is that the enthusiasm and the reasons to live in this direction is the best ever we've got. I think you've got people in the audience going here, here, yes, yes. Because I am the Lucian from the south. I must go down to another meeting. But this is taking into account that this is not the blah, blah, blah to have a good justification in this meeting. No. The good thing is to take into account, please take my coordinates. Let's work together. In research collaboration is essential. So they will have a collaboration. Policy makers in Brazil policy makers in the United Nations, blah, blah, blah. And now we go to the open source community with the best ever developments we've got to that. Of course, I can employ only half an hour to explain about all of the things we do. Our Github resources we collaborate based on creative commons license. Of course, that's not. I think if we if we had given you a full day session, you still would not have managed to cover all of the things that you could share with us. I'm very pleased that you could make it to the end of our session. Sadly, we need to wrap up. But I hope that you're around for more of the conference and people can continue to connect to connect with you and look for ways to collaborate together. Of course, I'd like to thank once again, all of the speakers that joined us for this session. It's been a really fantastically interesting session. I hope that all of you watching from home or off the spaces have enjoyed it as much as we have here backstage. I'll ask the speakers once again to wave a goodbye to you all. Thank you so much and have a great rest of your conference. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
 Yeah.  One, two, three.  Yeah.  Okay.  Perfect.  Yes.  Go ahead.  We can hear, we can hear you and see you.  Okay.  Would you like to share those again?  It's just.  Use the presentation right now.  Yes, we're ready for you to start to give the presentation.  If you'd like to share that with us again.  Get that back up on stage for you.  Thank you so much.  So.  Here you go.  Okay.  Please go ahead.  So thank you so much.  Thank you.  My presentation is entitled toward the establishment of a new open source  spatial remote sensing virtual research environments for e by diversity  ecosystem services and climate change modeling adaptation.  Well, it's a little bit long, but you will understand why.  So I am talking here not only on my behalf, but also on behalf of the  community.  And I am talking about the structure of biodiversity and ecosystem research.  In fact, we want connections there are a lot of connections with lighting as  you know, well with the work with natural is a university master as well with  Buenos Aires, many people worldwide.  So I will explain you later.  And this presentation focusing on the spatial observation will be very  interesting from the point of view of how to show open source developments.  Many, many developments.  Many, many developments that  code design code deployment majors.  So I'm going to try to  move the area.  What all of us have clear ideas about that we're living in certain  ecosystems, core sharing core system, but species, the factors of the scale  of the Earth.  And that there are five big, there is a few big five hot ecological topics we  are talking about biodiversity,  climate change, our environmental laws,  invasive and spaces component but also taking into account that all the nature  all the system or the system can be considered as a complex system to  model taking into account what is either a sphere, lithosphere,  atmosphere and the high nonlinear processes happening over there.

We can put together all of them into let's say software software systems.  So called the select is very funny why we decided to call the select the  evolution of a cube, a meta cube is the select.  As a new model, new paradigm or with the research environments and life block  chain system, our system, not only address to citation, the hesitation  provenant anti tampering, but also tokenization, socio economics  tokenization of ecosystem services.  Now I'm going to the solutions step by step.  Why because of this because of that since 17 on March of 2017 we are  considered as a European is science European research infrastructure  for the city research composed for certain number of member states from  European Union, based on the council regulation.  At the moment, we are Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands,  Portugal, Slovenia, and almost almost to be full member Cyprus,  Republic of Ireland, Israel, Slovakia, Ukraine, and Romania.  We have our headquarters and the main ICT coordination office here in Spain  and the Lucía region, Sevilla, Malaga, today we are here in Malaga.  The service center is in the region in Puglia, in Italy, the southern Italy,  and the virtual labs and innovation center is settled in Amsterdam, the Netherlands  without forgetting the regional components of the European Union as you know as well.  And we are not walking alone.  Of course, we are working with our sisters and brothers from the global  biodiversity information facility, Sevilla, the research that aliens, Copernicus,  the European Union, the European Open Science Club, the famous AOS group  maybe heard about another, there are a lot of things I couldn't stop all night  telling you all night all day that in Buenos Aires, all the people.  At the same time, now we have been specifically requested by the European commission  about the Green Deal chapter and one of the Green Deal chapters in turn  is the biodiversity chapter, biodiversity because biodiversity is everywhere.  It's about the ecosystems providing food, fresh water, clean air, shelter  and mitigating natural disasters best to assist and help regulate the climate.  That's clear.  At the same time, we are experiencing Europe and throughout the world  a new digitization process.  This is the case in the industrial 4.0, there was a 5.0  industrialization in Europe where digital innovation hubs, regulations  and skills plus from our coming all together, take into account that  the quadruple elix of innovation where academy, private companies including  small and medium companies, civil society organizations, must come all together  in a transdisciplinary way to understand what is going on.  It's not about pure research.  Research is data cannot be in a box isolated there.  Decision makers must take affordable, reliable decision making processes  for professional professional services of environment based on data.  Entrepreneurs, ICT environmental companies must take decisions on that  and citizen scientists must be aware of the importance of preservation environment  by including an intergenerational approach  for the elderly people, the children. That's clear.  So capacity building, capacity building is essential.  We need to create an analog catalog, training education and increase volume,  mapping strategy research area, competence and skills.  And always thinking that the psychology of the people are different  because they got different approaches to the problem of biodiversity  and ecosystem preservation.  It's not the same approach of a researcher, a public administration decision maker  and an entrepreneur or citizen scientist. That's more clear.  We must satisfy the user's requirement worldwide on the fact of that  indigenous knowledge from one side or the globalization are affecting  different ways from the knowledge, organizational knowledge way,  the way we tackle with the problem of preservation by diversity and ecosystem services.  That's the reason that we are having identified as one of the first priority  research infrastructure from the EULAQ, the European Union,  Latin America and Caribbean working group.  These are some nice pictures in Doniana, here in Andalusia, there in Costa Rica.  And at the same time we are leaders, let's say in the subgroup from Green Delizus  to foster the creation of a partnership from Green Transition and Energy Act  between the European Union and the African Union.  In fact, the seven agenda conclusions and the forthcoming COP 27  illustrate the biodiversity as a vital and critical component of the European Union  public policy agenda in Europe and globally in Europe for the future.  What does it mean? Together we are strong.  We cannot face global challenges that can't be changed alone.  And here we go.  This is a conceptual paper signed by myself,  and I am from the United States of Korea,  Walter Adink, Tim Hitch, Christopher Ben Thittis,  Tony Jose, Saint Alvarez, Peter Schork.  They are wiser than me in the field of e-biodiversity,  facing e-biodiversity challenges together as a real framework  based on how JVF, Disco, Ida Dio, Setup, TdwG, and like what's Eric,  we have agreed to deal with the challenge of preservation of biodiversity  based on the best state of art of ICT. And step by step, my friends,  I will go to the observations.  A little bit of patience. Let's go.  Again, the select and the block.  Why?  Because you can, this is key on the right, on the left.  I don't know if you can see with enough resolution.  You go there, citizens, government, the pre-nursing researchers, that's right.  On the other hand, you got essential biodiversity variables,  environmental ecology, environmental economic domains,  and then you got different ICT here components.  And you need to find a way, a user-friendly way to provide to the users on the top.  Researchers, decision makers, entrepreneurs, citizens, what do they need?  One of those components is related to remote sensing,  is related to observations.  And how through those tools, we can compose the proper workflow services  through the semantic composition mechanisms,  taking into account that on one side we got a blockchain system  to have the flexibility of the resources that we are engaging in a distributed manner,  databases, software, publication, media, on a certain topic.  And at the same time, we need to guarantee the connection to the bit-file of the cloud computing,  to the European Open Science Cloud, or either the European Open Science Cloud,  or either the EuroHPC, the supercomputing, when they need to launch any process  for modeling any supercomputing requirement.  So, resources layer, infrastructure layer, composition layer, application layer,  and finally, user layer, step by step.  This is how it's set up.  But let's go a little bit step forward.  We need to deal, tackle with the problems, the perspective of the scale and the heterogeneity challenges.  What does it mean? We are talking the scale.  Micro, meso, macro scale, biodiversity is not the same to measure with an nano or microsensor,  something that is a little bit, as you know, well, the 96% of the biodiversity in the world is microbial,  bacteria, virus, fungi, etc., many fungi.  The mesoscale is the world we are living in, the macro we are approaching to the geo scale, to the observations.  And then the heterogeneity measure of data, metadata resources involved.  It's not the same, analyzing with remote sensing we are doing every day,  and how to connect to create synergies with environmental on field samples,  or annotations in a notebook on the field.  Damage change monitoring, environmental observation networks,  well-working data, grid data, and agroecology,  this Latin American Caribbean and Africa context by promoting those eight tools  based on two paradigms, green and blue initiatives.  And this is a very conceptual scheme based on a Mediterranean forest  on how we can do this from the perspective of a nano sensor, micro sensor,  till the mesoscale, the coordination of the edge computing, based on edge computing techniques,  and the combination finally with the remote sensing.  And the remote sensing, why?  Because for the perspective of the Earth observation,  we are talking about oceans, land, air.  We're talking about how to measure in oceans, chlorophyll, salinity, surface temperature,  how in the land we can measure net primary productivity, the MPP,  from the air perspective, air source, rain forest, no, night lights, light pollution,  more important than the people think, believe me, my friends.  And how from the under the umbrella of United Nations, we can foster the collaboration  through the Space for Sustainable Development Goals objective.  Because as the former Secretary-General and the current Antonio Gutierrez Secretary-General  of the United Nations said, we must challenge climate change skeptics who deny the facts.  We need to guarantee that safe operation in space for humanity, planetiwonderies.  And just saying remote observations are essential.  The people today here, you are essential to understand in a global way  how it's affecting every part locally.  Why? Because the remote sensing and net observations from the geopolitical scope  allows to compare different geopolitical scenarios in different parts of the world.  Facilitates the development of Europe to collaborate with other countries.  That's very important.  Taking consideration the successful developments of GeoVon and YuVon initiatives,  the group of Earth observations by the rest of the Sub-Energetic Network,  we are partnered with, of the United Nations Outer Office Space Agency,  UNOS initiative, Copernicus, NASA, and last but not least, the one which is gathering all of them,  the Space for Sustainable Development Goals objectives.  This is an example of remote sensing across borders on this observation  and now open source scaling, explained by this.  This is the south of Europe, the north of Africa, we're talking about Spain,  territory, Morocco, territory.  We are now facing the same problem of an invasive species with a one-dice,  pandemic-dice, which is called Phytotoracinamomium.  Phytotoracinamomium is the acor-tree drawback.  It's destroying all of our ecosystems.  In addition to Sierra Fasteosa with the olive trees, it's a disaster.  We're sharing it with different geopolitical, but similar ecological forces, these projects.  This is the big issue, the big thing of using open source, big to recess standards,  from which we can provide the proper remote sensing tools.  Let's go a little bit further.  Taking into account the importance of the metadata catalogs,  how we guarantee for the ecological point of view, and we're talking about  ethnologies, hydrologies, etaphologies, different chapters of biodiversity and preservation,  the citation, the metadata catalogs, the training catalog for the people,  the capacity building to the people who are supposed to use this.  I remind you, Kali reminds you, researchers, decision makers,  the citizen scientists and the partners, the semantic approach of what we are referring to,  what about the person who identifies to identify the data,  and to have a clear perspective of the data we're talking about,  in a unibook way without any depth of what we're considering.  That's why we're a key partners of European Open Science and both, and also recessed that alliance.  And then when we want everything and we're composing the services,  how we can use artificial intelligence and data tools.  For instance, with FAO, we're collaborating in all what is related to forest,  with a accuracy of almost 70% for remote sensing studies.  Our colleagues from Brazil are from Granada here in Andalusia.  How we can use this remote sensing, this open source tools,  to provide faster identification of cetaceans, whales, these special detections.  And last but not least, for instance, one of the key issues we're dealing with  is an internal joint initiative of non-indigenous and alien species.  We're talking about the detection of artificial reformatory systems,  and Lantus Altissima, that is a bad wits, we used to say, but wits affecting northern ecosystems,  and a lactic ecosystem in Europe.  On the levels of invasive crustaceans, we are talking about the blue crustaceans, the blue crab.  The macroalchoatecifolia and the cilandreocumurae,  which is an exotic algae coming from the asianic areas,  affecting South America and Europe,  and changing drastically and not for good,  and basically the ecosystem there, the biotopes in general terms,  and the Mediterranean forest, in the case of Phytotracinamomy, as I could tell you before.  These are results, open results, free open developments  that you can access through our web page, web portal,  of course, there's a mechanism of accession, you send us an email,  we'll be grant you, you will have this access to these services,  and we'll be able to access them.  So, we're, remote sensing is essential, for instance, here,  this is an example, some snap captures of the screens,  which we are talking about crustacean problems in the Mediterranean,  in basin, or how they be in basin in the cities of Sarbatores,  citizens signs, survival, DNA,  and remote sensing primary observations, we are identifying previously being basin,  and it's very valuable, my friends, the EVBs,  in particular in collaboration with our colleagues from the University of Asterham,  and the University from Yuba, and our colleagues from Leiden,  and the reports units in countries and eco-regions,  in order to define the future possible scenarios  as a way to help biodiversity change indicators.  So, we are forecasting what is going on to happen in that ecosystem services,  and of course, remote sensing and output understanding of remote sensing,  and Earth observation access, and essential to get these objectives.  And we are using blockchain systems in all of this,  in order to guarantee traceability, anti-tempering,  and provide the proper socioeconomic tokenization of those ecosystem services.  This is a video, I will not play the video because it took two minutes,  how the blockchain is working, but I think you know better than me how it's working,  but for instance, one of the samples we are using is about the socioeconomic valorization,  jointly with the EVBs, or the Sodor Asbora,  as we try to open it as well, Sodor Asbora Parva,  as this is a basic, very specific, came in from Asia,  you can see here the map throughout the European continent,  and how we can, and this is, we are working right now for information.  So, I will start this one.  Well, this is making a strange thing as a comment,  because I have a bad video within the PowerPoint,  and I hope it's not crashing.  I don't think we're going to have time for a video, I'm afraid, when we get this,  but we're getting close to the end of the session,  and I want to make sure we've got a little bit of time.  Yeah, I'm finished, yeah, I'm in trouble.  I'm going to be scared because, ah, video, Microsoft, don't tell a lot of, ah,  so I'm going to, I'm going to wait,  so I will open again, no problem.  Microsoft is not responding as usual, wow.  I'm an open source defender, and I'm using today,  because this is our office desktop laptop for the traveling, you know,  PowerPoint, but I'm finished,  now I'm going to again open, no problem,  I'm almost finishing, because I will go to the PowerPoint,  and I wanted to have an enthusiastic presentation in order to get the people,  users, yes, you to collaborate with us, because...  Yes, you've shared a lot,  you've, you've referenced some really big global collaborations,  in European collaborations.  We believe, we believe in collaboration,  that's the only hope for our, to save our planet.  But I, we are, this knowledge, open knowledge, is the only way forward.  So if we zoom in on the open source aspects of what you're trying to establish,  open source for geospatial theory,  what's the best way for people to engage with you?  I will tell you, because I'm one of the founders of the open source movement here in Andalusia,  in the so-called Linux, the Guadalinix, maybe you have heard about that,  we have given service to three different million children, people worldwide,  during the last years, facing open standards.  Well, I will go to the United Nations, you know, there were several, after the video,  by diversity and ecosystem, perhaps one who we're collaborating,  you know, the UNOSA, United Nations,  linking space and life community in Latin America and Caribbean Africa,  but in particular, because it's very important to take it on  the multi-component approach to natural conservation and management in times of rapid change,  where scientists, natural managers, and policymakers must be done.  I invite you to go to a co-potential project that you, one of the Light Watch Eric related projects,  which results, we are integrating, open source, my friend research, they are available there,  but we're integrating research, our winter research environments,  the co-potential project, but by the way, I will share for free openly my presentation, of course.  Well, no, of course, and I would like to contact you from now on, all my team, your disposal,  that's our work for pressure.  All the relationships between land-surface temperature, density, and normalized difference vegetation index,  with some spectacular, they'll say, NDVRI results for spatial and seasonal patterns in vegetation,  they are limiting in Europe.  This can be extrapolated or transferred worldwide as well.  This is our remote sense, with open standards.  We are working with a critical zone, is there the skin living where rock meets life,  because it's very important to understand that this open development are dealing with the place where  physics, chemistry, hydrology, eco-hydrology, geology, and biology closely interact.  And this must be open source as well.  We're applying the deep learning and sending NDV to protect habitats under the weather framework direct to European.  Here is one of our publications.  We're talking about how we use due to very high resolution images, plus convolutional neural networks to establish precise  map maps in Africa with a high cost.  Thank you, Amiga.  We have a question for you from one of our audience members in Argentina about how they can get in touch with you to collaborate.  Of course, these are our coordinates in touch.  Why?  Because Argentina is very important from the European Union that can even cooperate.  It's very important.  We're now collaborating with what is called the Alianza del Pastital, Rio de la Plata, in collaboration also with Ruguay,  Bolivia Paraguay, all these countries Paraguay and Chile.  And we are eager for cooperation.  In fact, I would like to invite you to the United Nations General Assembly, 76th edition, General Assembly edition, dealing with sustainable development goals,  14 and 15, that is life underwater, life on earth, that it's going to take place the day after tomorrow, October 1st at 1.00 or 7.00 PM.  And I would like to start you a key message.  We have right now the best generation ever with the best skills on ICT, on open source developments, we are training there.  We must foster cooperation.  Please, be free of contact us to start new projects.  It's a new MDC, Neighborhood Development Cooperation instrument to be granted, very well granted by the European Union.  And now we have an excellent opportunity to foster collaboration on open source development to preserve biodiversity and ecosystem research.  I like what Sherry has, Johnny Disco, JV, from all the research infrastructure, sister research infrastructure, we got the mission to do that.  And we need you.  We need you.  On that call for we need you.  Sadly, we need to wrap up our session, but for me, can people contact you via the website?  Is that the best way for people to reach you at the Erech, live watch Erech website?  Yes.  And we need to connect with all of these amazing initiatives.  We are not optimistic.  We are enthusiastic.  There is a difference.  Thank you.  We believe in people, we believe in data, we believe in interoperability between the people, the data, the researches and the psychology, emotional psychology of the people.  Because after this lockdown, what we have learned is that the enthusiasm and the reasons to live in this direction is the best ever we've got.  I think you've got people in the audience going here, here, yes, yes.  Because I am the Lucian from the south.  I must go down to another meeting.  But this is taking into account that this is not the blah, blah, blah to have a good justification in this meeting.  No.  The good thing is to take into account, please take my coordinates.  Let's work together.  In research collaboration is essential.  So they will have a collaboration.  Policy makers in Brazil policy makers in the United Nations, blah, blah, blah.  And now we go to the open source community with the best ever developments we've got to that.  Of course, I can employ only half an hour to explain about all of the things we do.  Our Github resources we collaborate based on creative commons license.  Of course, that's not.  I think if we if we had given you a full day session, you still would not have managed to cover all of the things that you could share with us.  I'm very pleased that you could make it to the end of our session.  Sadly, we need to wrap up.  But I hope that you're around for more of the conference and people can continue to connect to connect with you and look for ways to collaborate together.  Of course, I'd like to thank once again, all of the speakers that joined us for this session.  It's been a really fantastically interesting session.  I hope that all of you watching from home or off the spaces have enjoyed it as much as we have here backstage.  I'll ask the speakers once again to wave a goodbye to you all.  Thank you so much and have a great rest of your conference.  Thank you very much.  Thank you very much.

Yeah. One, two, three. Yeah. Okay. Perfect. Yes. Go ahead. We can hear, we can hear you and see you. Okay. Would you like to share those again? It's just. Use the presentation right now. Yes, we're ready for you to start to give the presentation. If you'd like to share that with us again. Get that back up on stage for you. Thank you so much. So. Here you go. Okay. Please go ahead. So thank you so much. Thank you. My presentation is entitled toward the establishment of a new open source spatial remote sensing virtual research environments for e by diversity ecosystem services and climate change modeling adaptation. Well, it's a little bit long, but you will understand why. So I am talking here not only on my behalf, but also on behalf of the community. And I am talking about the structure of biodiversity and ecosystem research. In fact, we want connections there are a lot of connections with lighting as you know, well with the work with natural is a university master as well with Buenos Aires, many people worldwide. So I will explain you later. And this presentation focusing on the spatial observation will be very interesting from the point of view of how to show open source developments. Many, many developments. Many, many developments that code design code deployment majors. So I'm going to try to move the area. What all of us have clear ideas about that we're living in certain ecosystems, core sharing core system, but species, the factors of the scale of the Earth. And that there are five big, there is a few big five hot ecological topics we are talking about biodiversity, climate change, our environmental laws, invasive and spaces component but also taking into account that all the nature all the system or the system can be considered as a complex system to model taking into account what is either a sphere, lithosphere, atmosphere and the high nonlinear processes happening over there. And this is important to address this complexity because we need to in turn address the environmental challenges and support knowledge basis strategic solutions to environmental preservation in particular the biodiversity laws that we are experiencing in a context of more than evident climate change. So, I will go step by step. I'm going to explain to you introduce what is about the ecosystem services cascade from biodiversity to human well being. What is true, what is very clear is that we need to assess and monitor the ecosystem functions, the ecological processes and the biodiversity of humans well being depends on. We go to biodiversity and ecological processes and we need to understand how the ecosystem functions are working in order to further provide sustainable ecosystem services to guarantee the benefits for humans and preservation of the entire Earth system. You may be now better than me that there is a big sister initiative called I guess, the intruvenimental science policy platform on biodiversity and ecosystem services and there are a new model paradigm of the economics of biodiversity and ecosystem. The so-called TV since 2010. Because we need to understand based on this new paradigm, the environment limits ecosystem resilience and relationships among biodiversity and ecosystem services. We need to understand that to provide, to make a feedback, a proper feedback to preserve and to live in harmony with nature. Based on observations, based on observations of what? Well, as you know well, sustainable development goals are not per se. They are there in order to guarantee the human well being. And the human well being is related to the preservation of nature and the consistent with nature. And that consistent with nature depends on the way we understand the ecosystem functions and the services that are working there. And now how we can feedback with the provision of proper sustainable ecosystem services. As you can see here, we have identified our matrix. You know, the one hand and one axis, you can see the identification of certain sustainable development goals. And on the other, the assessment of 12 key ecosystem services by a survival best period identifying a minimum of 231 extra dependencies of sustainable development goals targets on a multiple ecosystem services. Well, see the legend on the right, please. Level support for a contribution. Many of them are not certainly well assessed yet. So we need to be based on fair data, findable, accessible, interoperable, and reasonable, which are the basis of scientific evidence to understand how to guarantee in a proper way this tacit knowledge derived from the fact of how can we provide these sustainable development goals. Why? And these ecosystem based approaches. Must be based through an urgent and concerted force fostering transformative change and transformative change in which policy making institutional processes and regulatory framework. At the same time that society, capacity, and knowledge, economic systems, ecosystem and natural resource management are working all over together. All together. And this is like what Eric about the watch Eric is about a European is science distributed infrastructure on biodiversity and ecosystem research in order to create this regulatory framework, this framework. In order to understand what is going on, what's the impact of global climate change on earth by diversity and ecosystem research as a structure in tour the European research area by means of providing the state of art of ICT, the data, the learning, intelligence, computing, blockchain, money in an organized manner. What do I mean? This that based on the global biodiversity informatics outlooks by my colleague and dear friend, how many Thales in 2012, like what Eric is on the top layer on the understanding, based on the culture, data and scientific evidence on understanding from the point of view of how can we we can build model representations of biodiversity patterns and properties based on any possible evidence and in turn, based on the following components, which is case based modeling trends and predictions, modeling biological system association dissemination, privacy, new data capture on all of this. We can put together all of them into let's say software software systems. So called the select is very funny why we decided to call the select the evolution of a cube, a meta cube is the select. As a new model, new paradigm or with the research environments and life block chain system, our system, not only address to citation, the hesitation provenant anti tampering, but also tokenization, socio economics tokenization of ecosystem services. Now I'm going to the solutions step by step. Why because of this because of that since 17 on March of 2017 we are considered as a European is science European research infrastructure for the city research composed for certain number of member states from European Union, based on the council regulation. At the moment, we are Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, and almost almost to be full member Cyprus, Republic of Ireland, Israel, Slovakia, Ukraine, and Romania. We have our headquarters and the main ICT coordination office here in Spain and the Lucía region, Sevilla, Malaga, today we are here in Malaga. The service center is in the region in Puglia, in Italy, the southern Italy, and the virtual labs and innovation center is settled in Amsterdam, the Netherlands without forgetting the regional components of the European Union as you know as well. And we are not walking alone. Of course, we are working with our sisters and brothers from the global biodiversity information facility, Sevilla, the research that aliens, Copernicus, the European Union, the European Open Science Club, the famous AOS group maybe heard about another, there are a lot of things I couldn't stop all night telling you all night all day that in Buenos Aires, all the people. At the same time, now we have been specifically requested by the European commission about the Green Deal chapter and one of the Green Deal chapters in turn is the biodiversity chapter, biodiversity because biodiversity is everywhere. It's about the ecosystems providing food, fresh water, clean air, shelter and mitigating natural disasters best to assist and help regulate the climate. That's clear. At the same time, we are experiencing Europe and throughout the world a new digitization process. This is the case in the industrial 4.0, there was a 5.0 industrialization in Europe where digital innovation hubs, regulations and skills plus from our coming all together, take into account that the quadruple elix of innovation where academy, private companies including small and medium companies, civil society organizations, must come all together in a transdisciplinary way to understand what is going on. It's not about pure research. Research is data cannot be in a box isolated there. Decision makers must take affordable, reliable decision making processes for professional professional services of environment based on data. Entrepreneurs, ICT environmental companies must take decisions on that and citizen scientists must be aware of the importance of preservation environment by including an intergenerational approach for the elderly people, the children. That's clear. So capacity building, capacity building is essential. We need to create an analog catalog, training education and increase volume, mapping strategy research area, competence and skills. And always thinking that the psychology of the people are different because they got different approaches to the problem of biodiversity and ecosystem preservation. It's not the same approach of a researcher, a public administration decision maker and an entrepreneur or citizen scientist. That's more clear. We must satisfy the user's requirement worldwide on the fact of that indigenous knowledge from one side or the globalization are affecting different ways from the knowledge, organizational knowledge way, the way we tackle with the problem of preservation by diversity and ecosystem services. That's the reason that we are having identified as one of the first priority research infrastructure from the EULAQ, the European Union, Latin America and Caribbean working group. These are some nice pictures in Doniana, here in Andalusia, there in Costa Rica. And at the same time we are leaders, let's say in the subgroup from Green Delizus to foster the creation of a partnership from Green Transition and Energy Act between the European Union and the African Union. In fact, the seven agenda conclusions and the forthcoming COP 27 illustrate the biodiversity as a vital and critical component of the European Union public policy agenda in Europe and globally in Europe for the future. What does it mean? Together we are strong. We cannot face global challenges that can't be changed alone. And here we go. This is a conceptual paper signed by myself, and I am from the United States of Korea, Walter Adink, Tim Hitch, Christopher Ben Thittis, Tony Jose, Saint Alvarez, Peter Schork. They are wiser than me in the field of e-biodiversity, facing e-biodiversity challenges together as a real framework based on how JVF, Disco, Ida Dio, Setup, TdwG, and like what's Eric, we have agreed to deal with the challenge of preservation of biodiversity based on the best state of art of ICT. And step by step, my friends, I will go to the observations. A little bit of patience. Let's go. Again, the select and the block. Why? Because you can, this is key on the right, on the left. I don't know if you can see with enough resolution. You go there, citizens, government, the pre-nursing researchers, that's right. On the other hand, you got essential biodiversity variables, environmental ecology, environmental economic domains, and then you got different ICT here components. And you need to find a way, a user-friendly way to provide to the users on the top. Researchers, decision makers, entrepreneurs, citizens, what do they need? One of those components is related to remote sensing, is related to observations. And how through those tools, we can compose the proper workflow services through the semantic composition mechanisms, taking into account that on one side we got a blockchain system to have the flexibility of the resources that we are engaging in a distributed manner, databases, software, publication, media, on a certain topic. And at the same time, we need to guarantee the connection to the bit-file of the cloud computing, to the European Open Science Cloud, or either the European Open Science Cloud, or either the EuroHPC, the supercomputing, when they need to launch any process for modeling any supercomputing requirement. So, resources layer, infrastructure layer, composition layer, application layer, and finally, user layer, step by step. This is how it's set up. But let's go a little bit step forward. We need to deal, tackle with the problems, the perspective of the scale and the heterogeneity challenges. What does it mean? We are talking the scale. Micro, meso, macro scale, biodiversity is not the same to measure with an nano or microsensor, something that is a little bit, as you know, well, the 96% of the biodiversity in the world is microbial, bacteria, virus, fungi, etc., many fungi. The mesoscale is the world we are living in, the macro we are approaching to the geo scale, to the observations. And then the heterogeneity measure of data, metadata resources involved. It's not the same, analyzing with remote sensing we are doing every day, and how to connect to create synergies with environmental on field samples, or annotations in a notebook on the field. Damage change monitoring, environmental observation networks, well-working data, grid data, and agroecology, this Latin American Caribbean and Africa context by promoting those eight tools based on two paradigms, green and blue initiatives. And this is a very conceptual scheme based on a Mediterranean forest on how we can do this from the perspective of a nano sensor, micro sensor, till the mesoscale, the coordination of the edge computing, based on edge computing techniques, and the combination finally with the remote sensing. And the remote sensing, why? Because for the perspective of the Earth observation, we are talking about oceans, land, air. We're talking about how to measure in oceans, chlorophyll, salinity, surface temperature, how in the land we can measure net primary productivity, the MPP, from the air perspective, air source, rain forest, no, night lights, light pollution, more important than the people think, believe me, my friends. And how from the under the umbrella of United Nations, we can foster the collaboration through the Space for Sustainable Development Goals objective. Because as the former Secretary-General and the current Antonio Gutierrez Secretary-General of the United Nations said, we must challenge climate change skeptics who deny the facts. We need to guarantee that safe operation in space for humanity, planetiwonderies. And just saying remote observations are essential. The people today here, you are essential to understand in a global way how it's affecting every part locally. Why? Because the remote sensing and net observations from the geopolitical scope allows to compare different geopolitical scenarios in different parts of the world. Facilitates the development of Europe to collaborate with other countries. That's very important. Taking consideration the successful developments of GeoVon and YuVon initiatives, the group of Earth observations by the rest of the Sub-Energetic Network, we are partnered with, of the United Nations Outer Office Space Agency, UNOS initiative, Copernicus, NASA, and last but not least, the one which is gathering all of them, the Space for Sustainable Development Goals objectives. This is an example of remote sensing across borders on this observation and now open source scaling, explained by this. This is the south of Europe, the north of Africa, we're talking about Spain, territory, Morocco, territory. We are now facing the same problem of an invasive species with a one-dice, pandemic-dice, which is called Phytotoracinamomium. Phytotoracinamomium is the acor-tree drawback. It's destroying all of our ecosystems. In addition to Sierra Fasteosa with the olive trees, it's a disaster. We're sharing it with different geopolitical, but similar ecological forces, these projects. This is the big issue, the big thing of using open source, big to recess standards, from which we can provide the proper remote sensing tools. Let's go a little bit further. Taking into account the importance of the metadata catalogs, how we guarantee for the ecological point of view, and we're talking about ethnologies, hydrologies, etaphologies, different chapters of biodiversity and preservation, the citation, the metadata catalogs, the training catalog for the people, the capacity building to the people who are supposed to use this. I remind you, Kali reminds you, researchers, decision makers, the citizen scientists and the partners, the semantic approach of what we are referring to, what about the person who identifies to identify the data, and to have a clear perspective of the data we're talking about, in a unibook way without any depth of what we're considering. That's why we're a key partners of European Open Science and both, and also recessed that alliance. And then when we want everything and we're composing the services, how we can use artificial intelligence and data tools. For instance, with FAO, we're collaborating in all what is related to forest, with a accuracy of almost 70% for remote sensing studies. Our colleagues from Brazil are from Granada here in Andalusia. How we can use this remote sensing, this open source tools, to provide faster identification of cetaceans, whales, these special detections. And last but not least, for instance, one of the key issues we're dealing with is an internal joint initiative of non-indigenous and alien species. We're talking about the detection of artificial reformatory systems, and Lantus Altissima, that is a bad wits, we used to say, but wits affecting northern ecosystems, and a lactic ecosystem in Europe. On the levels of invasive crustaceans, we are talking about the blue crustaceans, the blue crab. The macroalchoatecifolia and the cilandreocumurae, which is an exotic algae coming from the asianic areas, affecting South America and Europe, and changing drastically and not for good, and basically the ecosystem there, the biotopes in general terms, and the Mediterranean forest, in the case of Phytotracinamomy, as I could tell you before. These are results, open results, free open developments that you can access through our web page, web portal, of course, there's a mechanism of accession, you send us an email, we'll be grant you, you will have this access to these services, and we'll be able to access them. So, we're, remote sensing is essential, for instance, here, this is an example, some snap captures of the screens, which we are talking about crustacean problems in the Mediterranean, in basin, or how they be in basin in the cities of Sarbatores, citizens signs, survival, DNA, and remote sensing primary observations, we are identifying previously being basin, and it's very valuable, my friends, the EVBs, in particular in collaboration with our colleagues from the University of Asterham, and the University from Yuba, and our colleagues from Leiden, and the reports units in countries and eco-regions, in order to define the future possible scenarios as a way to help biodiversity change indicators. So, we are forecasting what is going on to happen in that ecosystem services, and of course, remote sensing and output understanding of remote sensing, and Earth observation access, and essential to get these objectives. And we are using blockchain systems in all of this, in order to guarantee traceability, anti-tempering, and provide the proper socioeconomic tokenization of those ecosystem services. This is a video, I will not play the video because it took two minutes, how the blockchain is working, but I think you know better than me how it's working, but for instance, one of the samples we are using is about the socioeconomic valorization, jointly with the EVBs, or the Sodor Asbora, as we try to open it as well, Sodor Asbora Parva, as this is a basic, very specific, came in from Asia, you can see here the map throughout the European continent, and how we can, and this is, we are working right now for information. So, I will start this one. Well, this is making a strange thing as a comment, because I have a bad video within the PowerPoint, and I hope it's not crashing. I don't think we're going to have time for a video, I'm afraid, when we get this, but we're getting close to the end of the session, and I want to make sure we've got a little bit of time. Yeah, I'm finished, yeah, I'm in trouble. I'm going to be scared because, ah, video, Microsoft, don't tell a lot of, ah, so I'm going to, I'm going to wait, so I will open again, no problem. Microsoft is not responding as usual, wow. I'm an open source defender, and I'm using today, because this is our office desktop laptop for the traveling, you know, PowerPoint, but I'm finished, now I'm going to again open, no problem, I'm almost finishing, because I will go to the PowerPoint, and I wanted to have an enthusiastic presentation in order to get the people, users, yes, you to collaborate with us, because... Yes, you've shared a lot, you've, you've referenced some really big global collaborations, in European collaborations. We believe, we believe in collaboration, that's the only hope for our, to save our planet. But I, we are, this knowledge, open knowledge, is the only way forward. So if we zoom in on the open source aspects of what you're trying to establish, open source for geospatial theory, what's the best way for people to engage with you? I will tell you, because I'm one of the founders of the open source movement here in Andalusia, in the so-called Linux, the Guadalinix, maybe you have heard about that, we have given service to three different million children, people worldwide, during the last years, facing open standards. Well, I will go to the United Nations, you know, there were several, after the video, by diversity and ecosystem, perhaps one who we're collaborating, you know, the UNOSA, United Nations, linking space and life community in Latin America and Caribbean Africa, but in particular, because it's very important to take it on the multi-component approach to natural conservation and management in times of rapid change, where scientists, natural managers, and policymakers must be done. I invite you to go to a co-potential project that you, one of the Light Watch Eric related projects, which results, we are integrating, open source, my friend research, they are available there, but we're integrating research, our winter research environments, the co-potential project, but by the way, I will share for free openly my presentation, of course. Well, no, of course, and I would like to contact you from now on, all my team, your disposal, that's our work for pressure. All the relationships between land-surface temperature, density, and normalized difference vegetation index, with some spectacular, they'll say, NDVRI results for spatial and seasonal patterns in vegetation, they are limiting in Europe. This can be extrapolated or transferred worldwide as well. This is our remote sense, with open standards. We are working with a critical zone, is there the skin living where rock meets life, because it's very important to understand that this open development are dealing with the place where physics, chemistry, hydrology, eco-hydrology, geology, and biology closely interact. And this must be open source as well. We're applying the deep learning and sending NDV to protect habitats under the weather framework direct to European. Here is one of our publications. We're talking about how we use due to very high resolution images, plus convolutional neural networks to establish precise map maps in Africa with a high cost. Thank you, Amiga. We have a question for you from one of our audience members in Argentina about how they can get in touch with you to collaborate. Of course, these are our coordinates in touch. Why? Because Argentina is very important from the European Union that can even cooperate. It's very important. We're now collaborating with what is called the Alianza del Pastital, Rio de la Plata, in collaboration also with Ruguay, Bolivia Paraguay, all these countries Paraguay and Chile. And we are eager for cooperation. In fact, I would like to invite you to the United Nations General Assembly, 76th edition, General Assembly edition, dealing with sustainable development goals, 14 and 15, that is life underwater, life on earth, that it's going to take place the day after tomorrow, October 1st at 1.00 or 7.00 PM. And I would like to start you a key message. We have right now the best generation ever with the best skills on ICT, on open source developments, we are training there. We must foster cooperation. Please, be free of contact us to start new projects. It's a new MDC, Neighborhood Development Cooperation instrument to be granted, very well granted by the European Union. And now we have an excellent opportunity to foster collaboration on open source development to preserve biodiversity and ecosystem research. I like what Sherry has, Johnny Disco, JV, from all the research infrastructure, sister research infrastructure, we got the mission to do that. And we need you. We need you. On that call for we need you. Sadly, we need to wrap up our session, but for me, can people contact you via the website? Is that the best way for people to reach you at the Erech, live watch Erech website? Yes. And we need to connect with all of these amazing initiatives. We are not optimistic. We are enthusiastic. There is a difference. Thank you. We believe in people, we believe in data, we believe in interoperability between the people, the data, the researches and the psychology, emotional psychology of the people. Because after this lockdown, what we have learned is that the enthusiasm and the reasons to live in this direction is the best ever we've got. I think you've got people in the audience going here, here, yes, yes. Because I am the Lucian from the south. I must go down to another meeting. But this is taking into account that this is not the blah, blah, blah to have a good justification in this meeting. No. The good thing is to take into account, please take my coordinates. Let's work together. In research collaboration is essential. So they will have a collaboration. Policy makers in Brazil policy makers in the United Nations, blah, blah, blah. And now we go to the open source community with the best ever developments we've got to that. Of course, I can employ only half an hour to explain about all of the things we do. Our Github resources we collaborate based on creative commons license. Of course, that's not. I think if we if we had given you a full day session, you still would not have managed to cover all of the things that you could share with us. I'm very pleased that you could make it to the end of our session. Sadly, we need to wrap up. But I hope that you're around for more of the conference and people can continue to connect to connect with you and look for ways to collaborate together. Of course, I'd like to thank once again, all of the speakers that joined us for this session. It's been a really fantastically interesting session. I hope that all of you watching from home or off the spaces have enjoyed it as much as we have here backstage. I'll ask the speakers once again to wave a goodbye to you all. Thank you so much and have a great rest of your conference. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
presentation is entitled toward the establishment of a new open source spatial remote sensing ecosystem services and climate change modeling only on my behalf, but also on behalf of the focusing on the spatial observation will be very ecosystem services and there are a new model science distributed infrastructure on create this regulatory framework, this framework. Netherlands without forgetting the regional Research is data cannot be in a box isolated reliable decision making processes for scientists must be aware of the importance of source scaling, explained by this. This is the pandemic-dice, which is called you, researchers, decision makers, the citizen remote sensing, this open source tools, to is a bad wits, we used to say, but wits affecting crab. The macroalchoatecifolia and the have this access to these services, and we'll be understanding of remote sensing, and Earth are, this knowledge, open knowledge, is the only research, our winter research environments, the must be open source as well. We're applying the about how we use due to very high resolution
