Canary Islands La Palma: cultivo change map (2003-2015)

A change map for the land cover class "CULTIVO" in "La Palma" PA, obtained by the Cross Correlation Analysis algorithm (CCA) [1,2] considering at time T1 the layer "CULTIVO" from an existing land cover map dated 2003 and at time T2 a Landsat 8 image dated July 8th, 2015. The map was produced at 30 meters spatial resolution and projected in WGS84/UTM28N. The map has binary values where value 1 indicates pixels changed from CULTIVO to other whereas value 0 indicates No changed/Not considered pixels. [1] Koeln, G., & Bissonnette, J. (2000).

Map of articles about "Teaching Open Science"

This description is part of the blog post "Systematic Literature Review of teaching Open Science" https://sozmethode.hypotheses.org/839 According to my opinion, we do not pay enough attention to teaching Open Science in higher education. Therefore, I designed a seminar to teach students the practices of Open Science by doing qualitative research.About this seminar, I wrote the article ”<a href="https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/b3zf7">Teaching Open Science and qualitative methods</a>“. For the article ”Teaching Open Science and qualitative methods“, I started to review the literature on ”Teaching Open Science“. The result of my literature review is that certain aspects of Open Science are used for teaching. However, Open Science with all its aspects (Open Access, Open Data, Open Methodology, Open Science Evaluation and Open Science Tools) is not an issue in publications about teaching. Based on this insight, I have started a systematic literature review. I realized quickly that I need help to analyse and interpret the articles and to evaluate my preliminary findings. Especially different disciplinary cultures of teaching different aspects of Open Science are challenging, as I myself, as a social scientist, do not have enough insight to be able to interpret the results correctly. Therefore, I would like to invite you to participate in this research project! I am now looking for people who would like to join a collaborative process to further explore and write the systematic literature review on “Teaching Open Science“. Because I want to turn this project into a Massive Open Online Paper (MOOP). According to the <a href="https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/b3zf7">10 rules of Tennant et al (2019) on MOOPs</a>, it is crucial to find a core group that is enthusiastic about the topic. Therefore, I am looking for people who are interested in creating the structure of the paper and writing the paper together with me. I am also looking for people who want to search for and review literature or evaluate the literature I have already found. Together with the interested persons I would then define, the rules for the project (cf. Tennant et al. 2019). So if you are interested to contribute to the further search for articles and / or to enhance the interpretation and writing of results, please get in touch. For everyone interested to contribute, the list of articles collected so far is freely accessible at Zotero: <a href="https://www.zotero.org/groups/2359061/teaching_open_science">https://www.zotero.org/groups/2359061/teaching_open_science</a>. The figure shown below provides a first overview of my ongoing work. I created the figure with the free software <a href="https://www.yworks.com/products/yed">yEd</a> and uploaded the file to zenodo, so everyone can download and work with it: To make transparent what I have done so far, I will first introduce what a systematic literature review is. Secondly, I describe the decisions I made to start with the systematic literature review. Third, I present the preliminary results. Systematic literature review – an Introduction Systematic literature reviews “are a method of mapping out areas of uncertainty, and identifying where little or no relevant research has been done.” (Petticrew/Roberts 2008: 2). Fink defines the systematic literature review as a “systemic, explicit, and reproducible method for identifying, evaluating, and synthesizing the existing body of completed and recorded work produced by researchers, scholars, and practitioners.” (Fink 2019: 6). The aim of a systematic literature reviews is to surpass the subjectivity of a researchers’ search for literature. However, there can never be an objective selection of articles. This is because the researcher has for example already made a preselection by deciding about search strings, for example “Teaching Open Science”. In this respect, transparency is the core criteria for a high-quality review.  In order to achieve high quality and transparency, Fink (2019: 6-7) proposes the following seven steps: <ol> <li>Selecting a research question.</li> <li>Selecting the bibliographic database.</li> <li>Choosing the search terms.</li> <li>Applying practical screening criteria.</li> <li>Applying methodological screening criteria.</li> <li>Doing the review.</li> <li>Synthesizing the results.</li> </ol> I have adapted these steps for the “Teaching Open Science” systematic literature review. In the following, I will present the decisions I have made. Systematic literature review – decisions I made <ol> <li>Research question: I am interested in the following research questions: How is Open Science taught in higher education? Is Open Science taught in its full range with all aspects like Open Access, Open Data, Open Methodology, Open Science Evaluation and Open Science Tools? Which aspects are taught? Are there disciplinary differences as to which aspects are taught and, if so, why are there such differences?</li> <li>Databases: I started my search at the <a href="https://doaj.org/">Directory of Open Science (DOAJ)</a>. “DOAJ is a community-curated online directory that indexes and provides access to high quality, open access, peer-reviewed journals.” (https://doaj.org/) Secondly, I used the <a href="http://base-search.net">Bielefeld Academic Search Engine (base)</a>. Base is operated by Bielefeld University Library and “one of the world’s most voluminous search engines especially for academic web resources” (base-search.net). Both platforms are non-commercial and focus on Open Access publications and thus differ from the commercial publication databases, such as Web of Science and Scopus. For this project, I deliberately decided against commercial providers and the restriction of search in indexed journals. Thus, because my explicit aim was to find articles that are open in the context of Open Science.</li> <li>Search terms: To identify articles about teaching Open Science I used the following search strings: “teaching open science” OR teaching “open science” OR teach &bdquo;open science“. The topic search looked for the search strings in title, abstract and keywords of articles. Since these are very narrow search terms, I decided to broaden the method. I searched in the reference lists of all articles that appear from this search for further relevant literature. Using Google Scholar I checked which other authors cited the articles in the sample. If the so checked articles met my methodological criteria, I included them in the sample and looked through the reference lists and citations at Google Scholar. This process has not yet been completed.</li> <li>Practical screening criteria: I have included English and German articles in the sample, as I speak these languages (articles in other languages are very welcome, if there are people who can interpret them!). In the sample only journal articles, articles in edited volumes, working papers and conference papers from proceedings were included. I checked whether the journals were predatory journals – such articles were not included. I did not include blogposts, books or articles from newspapers. I only included articles that fulltexts are accessible via my institution (University of Kassel). As a result, recently published articles at Elsevier could not be included because of the special situation in Germany regarding the Project DEAL (https://www.projekt-deal.de/about-deal/). For articles that are not freely accessible, I have checked whether there is an accessible version in a repository or whether preprint is available. If this was not the case, the article was not included. I started the analysis in May 2019.</li> <li>Methodological criteria: The method described above to check the reference lists has the problem of subjectivity. Therefore, I hope that other people will be interested in this project and evaluate my decisions. I have used the following criteria as the basis for my decisions: First, the articles must focus on teaching. For example, this means that articles must describe how a course was designed and carried out. Second, at least one aspect of Open Science has to be addressed. The aspects can be very diverse (FOSS, repositories, wiki, data management, etc.) but have to comply with the principles of openness. This means, for example, I included an article when it deals with the use of FOSS in class and addresses the aspects of openness of FOSS. I did not include articles when the authors describe the use of a particular free and open source software for teaching but did not address the principles of openness or re-use.</li> <li>Doing the review: Due to the methodical approach of going through the reference lists, it is possible to create a map of how the articles relate to each other. This results in thematic clusters and connections between clusters. The starting point for the map were four articles (Cook et al. 2018; Marsden, Thompson, and Plonsky 2017; Petras et al. 2015; Toelch and Ostwald 2018) that I found using the databases and criteria described above. I used yEd to generate the network. &bdquo;yEd is a powerful desktop application that can be used to quickly and effectively generate high-quality diagrams.” (<a href="https://www.yworks.com/products/yed">https://www.yworks.com/products/yed</a>) In the network, arrows show, which articles are cited in an article and which articles are cited by others as well. In addition, I made an initial rough classification of the content using colours. This classification is based on the contents mentioned in the articles’ title and abstract. This rough content classification requires a more exact, i.e., content-based subdivision and evaluation by others, who are experts in the respective fields/disciplines.</li> </ol>

Redistribution of the map with the flood prone areas in Flanders (status 2017-07-13)

This is a redistribution of the data source '<a href="http://www.geopunt.be/catalogus/datasetfolder/f5b2c84c-0d78-4efa-a97d-7cd172726572">Overstromingsgevoelige gebieden 2017 - (Watertoets), correctie 13/07/2017</a>', originally published by 'Vlaamse Milieumaatschappij - afdeling Operationeel Waterbeheer' and ‘Departement Mobiliteit en Openbare Werken, afdeling Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium’, and distributed by 'Informatie Vlaanderen' under a CC-BY compatible license. It is redistributed for reproducible, analytical workflows on Flemish Natura 2000 habitats and regionally important biotopes. In the context of the Flemish Water Assay (Watertoets), a fourth version of a map has been created that shows flood prone areas up to the plot level for the entire Flemish Region. The map contains the effectively flood prone areas (‘effectief overstromingsgevoelig’) and the potentially flood prone areas (‘mogelijk overstromingsgevoelig’).  In this new version, the effectively flood prone areas were processed with information from new and updated modeled flood areas, in addition to the registered local floods between 2006 and now. These modifications honour the changes to the implementing decision that the Flemish Government approved on 15 May 2017. Unlike previous versions that were raster files, the 2017 version is a vector file. The data source is a coproduction of the Hydraulic Engineering Laboratory of the Department of Mobility and Public Works (Departement Mobiliteit en Openbare Werken, afdeling Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium) and the division Operational Water Management of the Flemish Environmental Agency (Vlaamse Milieumaatschappij - VMM, afdeling Operationeel Waterbeheer), and is owned and administered by the latter.

It is redistributed for reproducible, analytical workflows on Flemish Natura 2000 habitats and regionally important biotopes. This dataset contains the delimitation of the Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) with respect to the EC Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) as approved by the Flemish government on 4 May 2001, ratified on 24 May 2002 and published in the Belgian Official Gazette on 17 August 2002. On 15 February 2008, the Flemish Government also proposed the water zone of the IJzer and Scheldt estuary to the Commission as additional areas of Community interest. After public investigation, the Flemish government decides on January 15, 2013 (published in the Belgian Official Gazette on February 4, 2013) to finalize the delimitation of the sub-area 11 'Boterakker' of the special protection zone BE2200037 'Uiterwaarden van de Limburgse Maas met Vijverbroek' as SAC in application of the Habitats Directive. This zone is now being proposed to the European Commission as an additional area of Community interest. The Habitats Directive aims to preserve biodiversity in the EU Member States and seeks to conserve and restore the natural habitats and the wild fauna and flora that are part of them. The most important measure is the designation of Special Areas of Conservation. This subdataset is a shapefile of geospatial polygons that delimit the (subareas of the) Special Areas of Conservation in the Flemish region with respect to the European directive 92/43/EEC, identical to the shapefile <code>ps_hbtrl_deel</code> in the original data source.
