GSoC mid-term blog post
When I started working on the KomMonitor project, I inherited a partially migrated codebase from a previous GSoC attempt. The goal was ambitious: migrate the entire KomMonitor Web Client application from AngularJS to Angular while maintaining functionality and improving the overall architecture. The existing codebase presented a complex web of tightly coupled services and components that had grown organically over time.
Researchers, decision-makers, practitioners, and stakeholders recently gathered in Rimini, Italy for the 7th European Climate Change Adaptation Conference (ECCA). This vibrant platform showcased cutting-edge research and innovative solutions while fostering collaboration and sharing knowledge and best practices. For three full days, participants exchanged research findings, innovative policy developments, and practical implementation experiences for a climate-resilient society. 52°North joined consortium colleagues to present and discuss work being done on climate services (in I-CISK) and disaster risk management (in DIRECTED).
Supporting machine learning on multisensor data from airborne remote sensing

The PlasticObs+ Project is part of the BMUV (Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection) funding initiative “AI lighthouse projects for the environment, climate, nature and resources”. It investigates machine learning methods and tools on multi-sensor data from airborne remote sensing to combat plastic waste in oceans and rivers. The project is part of the funding program “AI-Lighthouses for Environmental Protection” (funding code: 67KI21014A).
The FOSSGIS 2025 closed its doors a while ago after four full days of presentations, workshops and Birds of a Feather meetings! 727 participants traveled to Münster for the event and 385 followed online. 52°North showcased expertise in various fields, such as Cloud technologies and DevOps, interoperability and data integration, Spatial Data Science with co-design, and provided insight into KomMonitor developments.
