Next Tuesday Earthmover is hosting a webinar on Building a Planetary-Scale Earth-Observation Data Cube in Zarr

As regulars on this forum will note, I’ve recently gone on a deep dive into how to efficiently build massive-scale harmonized earth-observation data cubes in Zarr using open data. These workflows are common at big satellite data providers and processors (think NASA, Planet, etc.) But thanks to open data and serverless cloud computing, it’s now feasible for teams of all sizes to build their own customized data cubes for Earth analytics and AI.
I’ve been digging into the details and best practices on recent forum posts, e.g.
- Comparing odc.stac.load and stackstac for raster composite workflow
- Example which highlights the limitations of NetCDF-style coordinates for large geospatial rasters
I’ve learned a lot from this and am excited to share these learnings with the community. I’ll also compare three different serverless execution frameworks for running the pipeline (Coiled Functions, Modal, and Lithops) and look at some of the tradeoffs.
Looking forward to a fun discussion… All are welcome!
