The Geo4Dev Workshop series features novel applications of geospatial analysis & how they can help inform social science & public policy-related questions. The workshops teach students, faculty, & other members of our global intellectual community how to integrate these approaches into their research, & introduce practitioners at NGOs, government agencies, & industry to new geospatial analytics they can incorporate into their decision-making processes.
This workshop, led by Joel Ferguson, will guide users through the steps to combine publicly accessible satellite imagery & weather data, & agricultural trial data in a machine learning model to estimate crop productivity & yield. We draw on an existing Geo4Dev learning module developed in partnership with AtlasAI & apply the approach to a different dataset of publicly available data from historical maize trials in Africa. CEGA affiliated professor David Lobell & his coauthors collected these data as part of their 2011 paper in Nature, Nonlinear heat effects on African maize as evidenced by historical yield trials.
This workshop serves as a prelude to our annual Evidence to Action (E2A) conference. E2A 2023: Realigning Tech for Social Impact will take an honest look at the role that new technologies - from hardware innovations to advancements in digital data & service delivery platforms - have played in improving outcomes for people experiencing poverty, noting key wins as well as inherent limitations & trade-offs.
