Abstract
Chris van Diemen is a Geospatial researcher at OpenGeoHub Foundation. In this talk, Chris explained how current developments in computing power and a rocketing increase in the efficiency of geospatial computing has made it possible to analyse the archive of Landsat images that date back to the year 2000 at 30 meter resolution for the entire continent of Europe. Chris also discussed some specific examples of interpretations that these new approaches allow. Through different examples, his talk took the audience from the forest harvesting in Sweden to the hydroelectric dams in Portugal, over mysterious changes in the Alps to the apparent reforestation of the Romanian forests.
