E84 Lab Notes: Machine Learning with RoboSat
Recently, the E84 R&D team has been experimenting with machine learning pipelines and identifying potential use cases. There are a lot of new and exciting tools out there and we’re interested in exploring what’s available, particularly tools related to satellite and aerial imagery (one of our specialties). Mapbox‘s RoboSat was released earlier this year and…

Enhancing the Pangeo Community with NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) Data
One of our main missions at Element 84 is to help reduce the amount of time that researchers (scientific and corporate, alike) spend wrangling, downloading, cleaning, and prepping data in pursuit of their primary research question. A recent NASA study put that number at around 60%–leaving less than half of a scientist’s time available for…
