WEkEO Hackathon 2024Dec. 12th 16:00 CET
WEkEO is the EU Copernicus DIAS reference service for environmental data, virtual processing environments and skilled user support. A platform for all audiences.
2025 opens with a new feature dedicated to WEkEO users. The world of Earth Observation is brimming with data and possibilities, and the WEkEO Light Viewer is here to make exploring Copernicus EO data easier than ever. Designed for simplicity and accessibility, this streamlined tool allows users to quickly visualise and understand key datasets without complex search procedures.
The WEkEO Hackathon: Data Driven Solutions to Climate Change was a fast-paced three-day event held 12-14 December 2024 in partnership with Ultrahack. This dynamic online hackathon brought together a diverse group of scientists, students, entrepreneurs, and innovators to tackle pressing climate challenges. Using Earth observation data from the WEkEO platform, participants developed solutions focused on climate resilience, environmental monitoring, and sustainable resource management.
A major update has been introduced to the WEkEO data viewer, transforming how users interact with and analyse Earth Observation data. The platform now supports time series visualisation, offering a dynamic way to retrieve and display temporal data for selected locations directly from the viewer.
WEkEO’s EOCanvas is a new serverless function designed to support the processing of all Copernicus Earth Observation (EO) data directly within the cloud, enabling users to perform operations without downloading vast datasets. This serverless capability is built on WEkEO's Harmonized Data Access (HDA) API, simplifying the use of Earth Observation data from the Copernicus programme to monitor environmental variables.
