Abstract Scope |
Harnessing the potential of massive, heterogeneous geospatiotemporal datasets requires robust data management capabilities. This research presents an integrated framework for agricultural monitoring that applies state-of-the-art practices for ingesting, processing, and analyzing massive agricultural data assets. Open access satellite imagery, soil data, hydrological measurements, and land use classifications are synthesized. Kriging and conditional simulation techniques model and predict spatial distributions of key soil nutrients like nitrogen. Custom extraction, transformation, and loading pipelines ingest and process the multivariate data assets. Distributed computing infrastructure enables storing, accessing, and analyzing the big data. Spatiotemporal analytics reveal connections between crop growth dynamics, edaphic factors, and nutrient transport. The methodology underscores the critical role of data management in fully leveraging emerging geospatiotemporal big data to address real-world agricultural and environmental challenges. Advanced data curation, geospatial modeling, and quality verification techniques help overcome integration barriers and extract actionable insights from complex, multimodal datasets. |
