Source Cooperative
@source_coop
A data publishing utility that allows trusted organizations and individuals to share using standard HTTP methods. Currently in beta.
🌏 We have shared global embeddings derived from satellite imagery on @source_coop. The preprocessed data allows researchers & developers to accelerate and focus on solutions that benefit Earth. 🔗medium.com/earthrisemedia…
🚨 Near Snowbird, Utah & working with #geospatial data? Grab a day pass to #CNG2025 (Apr 30–May 2)! Join experts from USGS, Planet, Google, NVIDIA & more—no need to commit to the full event. 🔗 Explore the agenda & pick your day: 2025-ut.cloudnativegeo.org #CloudNativeGeo
We're seeking funding to take @source_coop to the next level.
Just wrote overview of the QGIS plug-in I started a couple months ago to make it easier to download data from Overture, Source Coop and anywhere with GeoParquet data. Read it at: cholmes.medium.com/a-deep-dive-in…
✨ Big moves for @source_coop in 2024! ✨ Read @jedsundwall's reflection on LinkedIn for highlights, including how Source is growing alongside @cloudnativegeo. Looking ahead? Don’t miss the CNG’s conference at Snowbird, UT, Apr 30–May 2, 2025 linkedin.com/posts/jedsundw…
New QGIS Plugin released! It enables download of any GeoParquet data, with presets for @OvertureMaps, @source_coop and even the new FSQ places data. See plugins.qgis.org/plugins/qgis_p… and install it by searching for 'GeoParquet Downloader' in the QGIS plugin manager.
We’re hiring a full stack developer to work on Source. Looking for expertise with Next.js and Rust. Apply here or please help us spread the word! linkedin.com/jobs/view/4057…
🎉 @source_coop is now open source! The web application - github.com/source-coopera… - and the data proxy - github.com/source-coopera… - have been opened up & updated with documentation on how to get it running locally. More documentation coming soon + tasks for new developers!
1/ We released Fields of the World (FTW)-- a new satellite imagery + field boundary dataset with samples from 24 countries (now downloadable via torchgeo)! One cool part of this work is that we find that models trained on FTW have decent zero-shot performance in new locations:
I'm so excited to finally introduce Fields of The World (FTW!) - the largest & most diverse ML dataset for field instance segmentation in satellite images. FTW has >70k samples from 24 countries (4 continents), with semantic & instance labels + Sentinel-2 RGB-NIR from 2 dates. 🧵
This comprehensive benchmark dataset - hosted on @source_coop - aims to meet the growing need for accurate and scalable field boundary data for global #agricultural monitoring & assessments
Models pretrained on Fields of The World perform better in transfer learning than models pretrained on more geo-limited datasets (e.g., Europe only). FTW models also show impressive zero-shot capabilities (e.g., this example in Ethiopia, where no training data was available).
Little update on @source_coop - Hosting over 400TB of data. - Served up 6.9TB of data last week, across 6.4 million GET requests - data.source.coop URLs show up in 152 results on GitHub search: github.com/search?q=data.… Still in beta! About to step on the gas! 🔥
Just released the updated satellite-derived building footprints dataset (Google + Microsoft) as well as the bonus Google+Microsoft+OSM building footprints dataset on @source_coop!

Source has been designed to support pointing to external data sources that are openly-available on object stores. We're not quite there yet on the feature development to open that up but it's coming!
This piece by @kaseyklimes is a great explainer of emergence and why it's a good way to understand the way we do things at @OurRadiantEarth, @cloudnativegeo, and @source_coop newsletter.rhizomerd.com/p/when-to-desi…
Added global contour line support to #Terrain22 using @maplibre-contour (thx to @smellman). observablehq.com/d/15509f3ef76b… DYK how to use WEBP terrain tiles in (@source_coop-hosted) @protomaps #PMTiles with maplibre-contour? This version uses terrarium instead.

Thanks to @opencholmes for creating the @OvertureMaps building dataset in #PMTiles format and share it on @source_coop beta.source.coop/cholmes/overtu…
I created contour lines from FABDEM that covers Fiji, in PMTiles. optgeo.github.io/fabdem-contour… Also in #Observable w/ #Terrain22 at observablehq.com/d/fa58ad959a5f…
