Resilience Academy

Dear network, May I seek your kind assistance! Our team at UNU-EHS will shortly be visiting following five urban areas to undertake urban resilience assessment through stakeholder consultations: Windhoek (Namibia), Ngaoundéré (Cameroon), Bargny (Senegal), Damietta (Egypt) and Zanzibar (Tanzania) Are you based in one of these areas or would you happen to have recommendations for us -individuals/organizations active in the urban planning/climate change/resilience/development space who would like to share their experiences with us? We plan to interact with NGOs, community based organizations, academia, private sector and government entities. We deeply appreciate your assistance in finding right stakeholders to shape this work that will eventually provide urban resilience baseline for Africa to the African Union. Thanks a lot!!

Yesterday, I attended the Resilience Academy ( RA) partnership meeting with fellow RA experts and partners. RA empowers young people to tackle urban challenges and promote resilient urban development in which 1,400+ students trained,135+ datasets & 81+ e-learning materials published.

Excited to share that I’ve completed CSC’s Geocomputing on Supercomputers training! This course provided advanced skills in processing and analysing geospatial data using high-performance computing (HPC). I learned: - Large-scale geospatial data processing with parallel computing - Optimising GIS workflows for supercomputers - Implementing efficient spatial analysis algorithms at scale - Using HPC for complex geographical computations Looking forward to continue learning ☺️☺️ Location Innovation Hub Turun yliopisto - University of Turku Geoportti RI LUMI supercomputer CSC - IT Center for Science GeoSolutions #Geocomputing #GIS #DataScience #Supercomputing #GeospatialAnalysis #CSC #OpenSource

I had a chance to guide the Open Data Festival organised by Turun yliopisto - University of Turku, Gispo, and Lounaistieto in sharing open geospatial data and learning cool ways to make GeoStories with tools from GeoSolutions. Location Innovation Hub
