🚨openrouteservice.org #openrouteservice update! #ORS now has #export and #snap endpoints, changing the way users interact with and process routing data, making it easier to handle complex use cases or pre-process points for routing queries. More info here: https://lnkd.in/epRxgMyD

The "Sociotechnical Foundations of GeoAI and Spatial Data Science" specialist meeting attracted a high number of applications, demonstrating the significant interest in this field. Unfortunately, due to limitations, we could only invite a selected group of participants. The meeting covered key themes such as #Trust, #Explainability, #Reproducibility, #Bias, #Sustainability, and #Accountability, focusing on both challenges and potential solutions. Attendees also enjoyed two social activities at Kapuzinergruft and Nussberg, providing opportunities for discovering the history of Austria and relaxation in scenic locations. A heartfelt thank you goes to Krzysztof Janowicz and our wonderful organizing team ( Ivan Majic, PhD, Zilong Liu, Meilin Shi, Alexandra Fortacz, and Daneila Wölfle) for the dedication, as well as to all participants for their active involvement. Our gratitude also goes to the sponsors—Esri, the American Association of Geographers (#AAG), and the University of Vienna—whose support was crucial for the success of the event. We look forward to continuing this event as a platform for collaboration, hoping that the #GeoAI community will make significant strides in addressing the challenges facing the field. #Talk #SDSS #SpecialistMeeting #GeoAI #GeoAICommunity #GIScience #GIS #SpatialDataScience #Vienna Song Gao Ben Adams Yingjie Hu Rui Zhu Zhangyu Wang Mark Gahegan Rachel Franklin Alexander Zipf Martin Tomko Anthony Robinson Carsten Keßler Shih-Lung Shaw Bruno Martins Christophe Claramunt Lauren Bennett Sarah Battersby Anita Graser 🌻 Alina Ristea Vanessa Brum-Bastos Adela Sobotkova Nico Van de Weghe Haosheng Huang Ilya Zaslavsky Eun-Kyeong Kim Marcela Suárez Meiliu Wu Negar Alinaghi Qunying Huang Rami Alouta Renee Sieber Stef De Sabbata Manuel Kastner

🚶♀️HeiGIT at #Walk21Portugal🚶 Recently, our colleague Kirsten v. Elverfeldt attended the Walk21 Conference in Lisbon, an inspiring event dedicated to reimagining cities by transforming car-centered spaces into active, livable, and vibrant environments for people. How do we create cities that are both livable and #climate-resilient? At HeiGIT, we believe in a tailored approach, integrating climate mitigation into urban mobility projects. Kirsten presented our ongoing work on a globally accessible, locally adaptable #walkability index built with open data like #OpenStreetMap (#OSM). This index enables planners to incorporate walkability into designs, calculating accessibility to essential services within a "walkable 15-minute city."

📢 Demystifying #ArtificialIntelligence for #AnticipatoryAction Workshop at the Global Dialogue Platform 🤖 Explore with us the role of #AI in shaping the future of Anticipatory Action through an engaging World Café (in-person and online). We will dive into interactive discussions in the following categories: ❓ Ask Me Anything: Dive into ethical considerations and AI for climate forecasting with experts from Welthungerhilfe (WHH), Humanitarian Stabilisation Operations Team (HSOT), World Food Programme, IGAD, Kenya and Ethiopia Meteorological Departments, and University of Oxford, Department of Physics. 🖐 Try Me Out: Explore hands-on applications of AI in Anticipatory Action! Deutsches Rotes Kreuz, HeiGIT, and Deltares will showcase tools already used across the AA cycle, such as FloodTags, Sketch Map and MapSwipe4Web. 🔮Sneak Preview: Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry and CLEAR Global will give a sneak preview into AI tools in development like the Drought Impact Forecasting, Language Maps and Language Voice Data tool, inviting you to help shape the future of AI in humanitarian efforts. When: 24 October 2024, 10:30-13:00 CEST Where: Berlin and Online 👉 Register now at Anticipation Hub: https://lnkd.in/eBnNe-YS #GlobalDP

❗️Reminder: Open lecture on responsible AI practices in earth observation tomorrow❗️ 📅23/10/2024, 10:30AM 📍Marsilius Kolleg (Heidelberg, INF 130.1, R 00.101) Feel free to read our blog for more information: https://lnkd.in/ewJWrMjg

We are already thinking ahead on how these results can contribute to #ClimateActionIndicators and guide us in taking the right steps to reduce #GHG #emissions from #traffic. Your feedback matters! We invite you to review our preprint and provide valuable feedback to refine and advance our approach: https://lnkd.in/dGq59Gju 📑

📢 New Developments in the Sketch Map Tool Whether you are new to the tool or an experienced user, we have provided an introductory video that offers a detailed overview of its key features and applications to facilitate deeper engagement. To enhance the tool’s performance, users are invited to contribute Sketch Maps for training purposes. Participation is voluntary, with privacy protected by robust security measures. We’ve also added a Data Storage and Security section to address key concerns around data handling.

Join us next week, either in person or online, for a session on the use of #AI in anticipatory action (#AA)! Learn more about our contributions to the #GDP24: https://lnkd.in/eB6Nw7j5

As HeiGIT we successfully held our first in-person workshop to integrate local expert knowledge and diverse perspectives of practitioners and key stakeholders into our riverine flood risk assessment for the Indus River Basin in the context of Anticipatory Action.  Local insights, discussions and exchange resulted in a prioritization and weighting of indicators which enables us to deliver a reflected, locally validated and hopefully impactful risk assessment for the Early Action Protocol. Thank you to this highly competent & motivated group, we have learned alot!!
