How to use data from the AWS Open Data program in HAQM Bedrock
Many government agencies, like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), participate in the AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program. In this post, we discuss how to use NOAA datasets in the Registry of Open Data on AWS using HAQM Bedrock Knowledge Bases.
53 new or updated datasets available on the Registry of Open Data on AWS
The AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program makes high-value, cloud-optimized datasets publicly available on HAQM Web Services (AWS). AWS works with data providers to democratize access to data by making it available to the public for analysis on AWS; develop new cloud-based techniques, formats, and tools that lower the cost of working with data; and encourage the development of communities that benefit from access to shared datasets. The full list of publicly available datasets are on the Registry of Open Data on AWS and are now also discoverable on AWS Data Exchange. This quarter, AWS released 53 new or updated datasets and you can learn more about them in this post.
39 new or updated datasets available on the Registry of Open Data on AWS
The AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program makes high-value, cloud-optimized datasets publicly available on HAQM Web Services (AWS). AWS works with data providers to democratize access to data by making it available to the public for analysis on AWS; develop new cloud-based techniques, formats, and tools that lower the cost of working with data; and encourage the development of communities that benefit from access to shared datasets. Through this program, customers are making over 100 petabytes (PB) of high-value, cloud-optimized data available for public use. This quarter, AWS released 39 new or updated datasets.
Harnessing cloud solutions to tackle water challenges
In this post, we explore how HAQM Web Services (AWS) cloud-based technologies can be used to address diversified and dynamic water challenges in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. As climate change and demographic shifts continue to strain water resources, the need for innovative, technology-driven solutions has never been more urgent.
Analyzing climate risk models on AWS to prevent future food insecurity in Nigeria
The Climate Risk Research Foundation is a nonprofit that supports data-driven climate research. Their goal is to help decision-makers identify the potential impact and magnitude of climate-related risks and develop possible mitigation strategies. We chatted with the organization’s chairman, Brendan Reilly, to learn how its Sustainable Africa Initiative (SAI) is empowering agricultural experts in Nigeria to analyze climate risk models on HAQM Web Services (AWS) to prevent future food insecurity in their local communities.
21 new or updated datasets available on the Registry of Open Data on AWS
The HAQM Web Services (AWS) Open Data Sponsorship Program makes high-value, cloud-optimized datasets publicly available on AWS. Through this program, customers are making more than 100 petabytes (PB) of high-value, cloud-optimized data available for public use. This past quarter, AWS released 21 new or updated datasets. What will you build with these datasets?
How using cloud technology can help your organization meet sustainability goals
The right cloud technology leads to more sustainable IT and business operations. As a foundation for innovation, the cloud supports the delivery of sustainable products, services, and business models, and gives organizations the opportunity to transform themselves with sustainability at the core of their operation. The scope of the cloud’s role in sustainability is highlighted in a recent series of AWS Institute masterclasses and summarized in this blog post.
34 new or updated datasets available on the Registry of Open Data on AWS
The HAQM Web Services (AWS) Open Data Sponsorship Program makes high-value, cloud-optimized datasets publicly available on AWS. Through this program, customers are making more than 100 petabytes (PB) of high-value, cloud-optimized data available for public use. Read this blog post to learn about the 34 new or updated datasets that were released in the first quarter.
Estimating physical climate heat risk with NASA Global Daily Downscaled Projections on ASDI
Climate risk consists of transition risk and physical risk. Transition risk represents regulatory and market-based risks while physical climate risk covers climate-related earth processes and its effects on the built and natural environment. In this blog post, we highlight how to use HAQM Web Services (AWS) to enrich your asset portfolio with open climate data hosted in AWS.
SeloVerde uses geospatial big data and AI/ML to monitor deforestation in supply chains, powered by AWS
Open source geospatial artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) analyses along with Internet of Things (IoT)-connected sensors can power near real-time data built on the cloud and assist in decision-making. Read this blog post to learn how HAQM Web Services (AWS) is supporting the Government of Pará, Brazil, in designing and deploying SeloVerde (Green Seal), a cutting-edge tool to address climate change challenges and traceability in deforestation-risk supply chains.
