Earth Data Store â A one-stop shop for Earth Observation Data and Analytic Applications

UVIC and UBC, in collaboration with industry will be developing the Earth Data Store, to provide unparalleled access to standardized temporal and spatial earth observation data and develop industry-specific applications that will allow end-users to see how a region evolves over time using visual interactive maps and running deep learning algorithms. The Earth Data Store tackles the normalization problems of data, particularly with data generated from multiple sensors, which can consume up to 80% of the effort preparing for analysis. It is expected this project will support the growth of companies delivering big data/geospatial analytics products and information services, a global market estimated to be worth $10 B.
