Report: CoRE Stack Landscape Solvability Workshop, Dec 2025

[Aaditeshwar Seth]

Hi all, 

We had organized a learning and brainstorming workshop in December. Thanks so much to everyone who participated! 

We had an ambitious and busy agenda yet everyone persevered and all of us learned a lot together, about how to work with data, identify its shortcomings, and weave data into our understanding of landscapes. With 80+ participants from 30+ organizations, about 10 talks, 5 breakout sessions to bring new ideas with discussions happening in 5 groups in parallel, the collective knowledge we generated was phenomenal. 

The report and a short blog are here. Links to recordings are also available. 

1. Introductions (32min), MAPs talk by Ravindra (WASSAN), KYL demo

2. KYL shareback, reflections by Vivek (WELL Labs) and Faiz (IWMI), waterbody rejuvenation dashboard demo: Missed recording, sorry!
