Congratulations Team cress.space!!!!

The cress.space team worked hard during the 48h hackathon to create autonomous farming, through machine learning on basis on collaborative gaming for off-earth as well as on-earth applications.

Die SpaceApps-Challenge der NASA ist ein 48-stündiger Wettbewerb, an dem Michael Kahle von der Physischen Geographie im shackspace Stuttgart in der Sparte „Earth Live“ teilgenommen hat. eoNetTambora ist dabei aus 1.200 Projekten unter die fünf Finalisten in der Kategorie „Best Use of Data“ gewählt worden. Durch die Synopse der in nahezu Echtzeit von der Nasa gelieferten Hazard-Daten mit Satellitenbildern erhalten Jahrhunderte alte Zeitungen, Tagebücher und anderes Quellenmaterial aus tambora.org einen tagesaktuellen Bezug und ermöglichen die Erkundung regionaler und globaler Auswirkungen des Klimawandels.
