I’m thrilled to participate in the SAGES annual conference for the first time. It was an excellent (but terrifying) experience, as our topic of scikit-eo 🐍 and land use coincidentally followed the keynote speaker's discussion of the relevance of land cover analysis 🤯🛰️🌎

Thanks to SAGES support, Fernando Benitez-Paez was at the SAGES 2024 Annual Science Meeting in Glasgow this week presenting "Mapping forest degradation in South America using scikit-eo" 🌲 It focused on land use + land cover analytics for a recent collab. with Yonatan Tarazona Universidade de Coimbra
