The hitchhikers guide to Copernicus data access
09-10, 09:00–09:30 (Europe/Bratislava), B316 (BAT)

The European Space Agency has unveiled their new portal for satellite imagery and related data: Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem. The notion of "Ecosystem" makes it interesting, if not confusing: data discovery, access and on-demand processing are spread across various parallel services, which are in turn offered by ESA or partner companies. One can use dashboards, APIs, cloud workspaces, spend "processing credits".
In short: It is complicated. One more reason to explore with a guide! In this talk I would like to give an overview of the best ways to discover, download or otherwise interact with Copernicus EO data using QGIS,
focusing on free to use services and open standards.

Freelance software developer, RS/GIS specialist.

I help organizations to implement or improve on their data processing workflows.
It's a diverse job, but my specialty is automated raster data processing within server/cloud based environments.

I have 11 years experience; 3 at a hydrologic consultancy firm and 8 years self-employed.
I also moved countries twice: Hungary to Denmark, and then to the Netherlands.

Consequently my experience is quite diverse.
I have applied my skills within topics such as: weather forecasting, hydrology, coastal/marine engineering, humanitarian aid, explosive ordnance search & disposal, agriculture and more.

I am also an ex-Red Cross Red Crescent volunteer.
