Opening Reproducible Research at AGILE 2017 conference in Wageningen

10 May 2017 | Daniel Nüst

This week o2r participates in another conference, which is partly a repetition but also a contrast to the last one:

Again, o2r team members (Markus and Daniel) are fortunate to co-organize a workshop about reproducible research: “Reproducible Geosciences Discussion Forum” at the 20th AGILE International Conference on Geographic Information Science in Wageningen, The Netherlands, took place yesterday. Read the short recap on the workshop website.

Opening Reproducible Research at EGU General Assembly 2017

04 May 2017 | Daniel Nüst

Last week the largest European geosciences conference of the year took place in Vienna: the European Geophysical Union General Assembly 2017.

o2r took part by co-organising a workshop on reproducible research and co-convening the session IE2.4/ESSI3.10 Open Data, Reproducible Research, and Open Science.

o2r team member Daniel Nüst presented the abstract “Executable research compendia in geoscience research infrastructures” (download poster) and supported Marius Appel and Edzer Pebesma in their work on “Reproducible Earth observation analytics: challenges, ideas, and a study case on containerized land use change detection” (download poster) in the ESSI3.10’s poster session.

It was a great experience to…

Docker for GEOBIA - new article published

30 Mar 2017 | Daniel Nüst

We are happy to announce that o2r team member Daniel published a new article together with Christian Knoth in the journal Remote Sensing. The special issue “Advances in Object-Based Image Analysis—Linking with Computer Vision and Machine Learning” comprising six papers was published in connection with the 6th GEOBIA conference (2016), where Daniel and Christian’s work was previously honoured with the best student paper award.

The article Reproducibility and Practical Adoption of GEOBIA with Open-Source Software in Docker Containers is available as Open Access: doi:10.3390/rs9030290
