Planet to Acquire Sinergise Business to Expand its Data Analysis Platform

πŸ‘©πŸΎβ€πŸ’» Planet expects this acquisition to lower the barriers for current and new Planet customers to access and act on EO data. The addition of Sinergise’s platform capabilities is expected to further enable customers to more easily extract insights from various sources of satellite data and partners to build their own applications on top of Planet’s platform to gain additional value from EO data.

Google Carbon Removal Research Awards

🌍 Google announced the Google Carbon Removals Research Awards to support academic research focused on carbon removal approaches.

🌍 With these awards, Google will sponsor academic research programs that address important research questions related to carbon removal to help accelerate the development of a global carbon removals sector.

🌍 This research will also support their efforts to reach net zero emissions across all of their operations and value chain by 2030.

⚠️ Academic researchers can submit proposals that support up to three PhD students for up to three years.

Week's recommended reading

My current research is focused on Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) change which means that I will recommend more papers on this subject. :)

This research study collected approximately four hundred research articles and investigated five areas of interest, including:

  1. LULC definitions;

  2. Classification systems used to classify LULC globally;

  3. Direct and indirect changes of meta-studies associated with LULC;

  4. Challenges associated with LULC;

  5. LULC knowledge gaps.

πŸ“° Read the paper: A Synthesis of Land Use/Land Cover Studies: Definitions, Classification Systems, Meta-Studies, Challenges and Knowledge Gaps on a Global Landscape
