Dear colleagues,

The “Coffee Talks” webinars organised by the Global Forum for Geography 
and Statistics are back!

The next one will be on Wednesday this week (7 September) at 14.00 
Geneva time, for approximately one hour. The topic will be “Global grids 
for Statistical Data”, and we will have 2 presentations:

1) Kevin Sahr (Southern Oregon University) and Richard Barnes – “Getting 
Started with DGGRID:  Everything you need to know to begin using 
hexagonal DGGs”- DGGRID is one of the most widely used tools for working 
with hexagonalDiscrete Global Grids (DGGs). We’ll give a quick overview 
of DGGRID, and then demonstrate how to use it to generate and populate a 
DGG.


2) Alexander Kmoch (University of Tartu) – “SAGEGRID - Spatial Analysis 
and Areal Statistics as a Service with Discrete Global Grid Systems” - 
SAGEGRID is the acronym of a EU Horizons grant proposal that aims to 
apply Discrete Global Grid Systems to the European Data Strategy. The 
concept revolves around a spatial data trade paradigm based on DGGS to 
support API-based data markets. DGGS software is becoming increasingly 
available, and cell ID-based encoding of data allows targeted and 
seamless data selections, extraction, and tabular alignment which is 
ideal for aggregation in downstream analytics and machine-learning for 
value-added data products in a thriving data market.
