Tutorial: Scalable Sustainability with the Planetary Computer

Tom Augspurger, Microsoft This hands-on tutorial, covers the basics of cloud-native geospatial data analysis at scale. It covers using STAC for discovery and searching a large catalog of data assets, and tools for accessing data in a cloud-native way. The tutorial uses the Microsoft Planetary Computer as a source for all the data. Users are able to log into a JupyterHub deployment in the same Azure region as the data, granting fast access to the data. It covers the basics of using Dask for analyzing geospatial data at scale, including distributing computations on a cluster of machines.
