A minimalist illustration of structural transformation. A rigid, dark metal form (labeled "Code Sharing") is met by a rising, chaotic arc of fragmented light. Where they intersect, the fractured pieces converge into a seamless, crystalline structure—visually capturing the moment a scientific "frictionless research exchange" brings order to complexity.

Wrote something about why Earth observation might be sitting on two thirds of a scientific singularity without knowing it.

It all starts with a paper by David Donoho about frictionless reproducibility and question our field through this lens.

Hopefully 🤞

Well spotted. Thx. That's a relicate from the conversion from Zarr sample service. Will fix it soon.

What if Earth observation borrowed not just the rendering tricks from game engines, but the physics, the agents, the narrative systems?

That's the question I've been sitting with.

The Sentinel data in this project are already in Zarr v3. All the data from the sample service will be v3 very soon.

Sentinel Zarr and an Ecosystem Ready to Visualize — Development Seed Building visualization and analysis capacity for the next generation of Sentinel data.

7 months ago ESA asked: can the open-source ecosystem handle Sentinel Zarr? 🛰️🗺️

We pushed early GeoZarr conventions with:
→ GDAL
→ OpenLayers
→ TiTiler/rasterio
→ STAC
→ rioxarray

No proprietary format. No lock-in. Just interoperability.

The Screenshot Era is Over (If We Want It To Be) — Development Seed Brilliant researchers reduce months of work to unreadable screenshots. They deserve better.

Our team has learned a lot from years of working with scientists at NASA, and Anthony has crafted a great story about what we've learned and where we think the possibilities lie ahead.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this one.

Had a great week spending time IRL with my @developmentseed.org team in Lisbon. I work with the smartest, kindest people and I’m feeling energized to finish the year strong and looking forward to 2026. 🫶

A project I've been working on for the last 6 months. I feel really strongly about making geospatial technology and data available and understood by as many people as possible. And that requires getting creative with the ways we share information. This is my small contribution to that effort.

Excited to welcome @briannaritapagan.bsky.social as a Technical Project Lead! 🚀🌍

She brings expertise in remote sensing, cloud infrastructure, & geospatial data, across startups, research labs, open-source communities, and NASA.

Welcome to the team! 🙌

So much Earth observation data is collected, processed, and analyzed—yet it still doesn’t reach the people who need it most.

The challenge? Turning data into actionable insights.

See You at AGU — Development Seed Our team will be in Washington, DC to see "What's Next for Science."

If you're headed to DC for #AGU24 @agu.org, please come and say hi to the DevSeed squad; we'll be covering some incredible topics and tech: developmentseed.org/blog/2024-12...

Media invited: NOAA scientists to speak on Arctic, tsunamis, ocean observations at AGU NOAA scientists will participate in press conferences at the American Geophysical Union Annual Fall Meeting in Washington, D.C., about the state of the Arctic and advancements in tsunami science since...

Just a quick heads-up that next week (at @agu.org) will be the release of our NOAA Arctic Report Card for 2024. This document has been issued annually since 2006. More soon! www.noaa.gov/media-adviso...
