Check out Nina Lindell's awesome analysis of #urbanheatislands in Gothenburg! 👀 👇 Great to see how easy it now is to bring satellite imagery into your cloud environment to analyze at scale! Learn more about our vision for the future of raster on the cloud: https://lnkd.in/eNh7aMcC #datascience #geospatial #dataforgood
This year's theme for the Solita annual hackathon was "Data for Good," and our team focused on the issue of #heatwaves in cities. I was excited to test the raster module in #Carto Analytical Toolbox on #Snowflake, using Gothenburg as our testing ground. In our hack, we tackled both societal and technical problems: 1. As heat waves become more frequent, identifying #urbanheatislands is crucial for protecting vulnerable groups. Urban design measures (like using lighter materials and planting greenery) can cool these areas down. 2. Valuable satellite data is often restricted to #GIS professionals using specialized software. We aimed to test breaking this barrier. The heat island effect occurred, as expected, mostly in the industrial areas. Surprisingly, the area that both had relatively high surface temperatures and high density of elderly population was Haga - the historical neighborhood with traditional wood buildings and cobbled streets. Few trees on the streets could be one explanation, but I am curious to research other explanations and further scrutinize our analysis. Overall, we concluded that once #satellite data is available in Snowflake, querying, analyzing, and visualizing it is incredibly easy. This opens up a wide range of possibilities for companies to enrich their current data with insights from satellite imagery or bring the specialized data into the hands of the broader data analyst community. It will be so exciting to see what such democratization will result in! Our process: 1. Used Landsat 8 surface temperature data for the last three summers in Gothenburg, exported as GeoTIFF via Google Earth Engine. 2. Uploaded the data to Snowflake using the Raster Loader library. 3. Using the function CARTO.RASTER_VALUE(), converted the raster data to a simple, easy-to-understand table: a pixel (in quadbin format) and an average temperature value. 4. Finally, the fun and easy part of combining raster data with vector data. To estimate the risk of the elderly's exposure to the urban heat island effect, we obtained 60+ population density data. The data was rather coarse and the insights questionable, but bringing both datasets to the same spatial support with #H3 spatial indexes and then joining them proved to be very smooth. Next, I hope to see satellite imagery already available in marketplaces like Carto Data Observatory, Snowflake, and Databricks marketplaces (as it already seems to be available in BigQuery). The first two steps in our process still felt like a significant barrier. I'd also love to continue exploring the possibilities of raster functions, and hope that someday they will be available beyond Carto's 2-week trial - to democratize the use of raster data even further.

So excited to see what you will all do with the new Databricks + CARTO connection! Check out Milos Colic's map for inspiration - and start your free trial here 👉 https://app.carto.com/
Today I made my first public map using the new Databricks + CARTO connection! A picture says a thousand words, so here it is: https://lnkd.in/eYvRtfGg What makes this cool: - It is a native Databricks connection via REST - All data is Unity Catalog managed: UC table IN - UC table OUT - Maps are Photon accelerated - This connector is DB SQL Serverless ready - so if you got it in your region, the maps will fly faster If you'd like to try this out please reach out to your CARTO contacts or directly to me or Ernesto Martínez Becerra. #databricks #carto #geospatial #unitycatalog #dbsql #serverless #data #gis #photon #integration #lakehouse #cloud #clouddata #cloudgis #sql
