EGU Official banner (From EGU)
The EGU brings together geoscientists from all over the world covering all disciplines of the earth, planetary, and space sciences, to provide a platform where professionals especially early career researchers, can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience.
This year's EGU (EGU23) General Assembly was held between 23 and 28 April in Vienna, Austria, and welcomed over 18,831 registered attendees, with over 15,453 in-person participants from over 100 countries and over 3,000 joining online from over 100 countries. The assembly uniquely offered vast opportunities for early and mid-career scientists, with over 57% of the abstracts identified as contributions from Early Career Scientists (ECS).
Our paper (presented by one of the co-authors Daniel Ogenrwot, PhD student), on custom digital platforms for data management in resource-limited settings was one of the 16,357 presentations made in the 938 sessions. In this paper, we present the case for a robust custom digital platform for managing IoT-based sensor networks for sustainable environmental monitoring in data-hungry cities. We particularly demonstrate the scalability of the AirQo platform, for managing large-scale low-cost sensor networks in African cities.
The EGU annual general assembly remains the largest and most prominent European geosciences event.
