EGU General Assembly 2019 in Vienna

The EGU General Assembly 2019 brought together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary and space sciences.  LANDSUPPORT partners held a Short course on Implementation of software components to build web-based decision support systems: the case of the land take pipeline within a geospatial cyberinfrastructure. Convener: Giuliano Langella (UNA),  Co-conveners: Peter Baumann (RASDAMANN), Francesco Vuolo (BOKU).

The short course covered some developments carried out within the EU H2020 LandSupport Project. The implementation of an indicator of land-take was showed, both presenting how to deal with the technical steps on a more general level and proposing hands-on sessions on the implementation of specific components of the whole land-take workflow.
