Radar satellite imagery (SAR) offers great opportunities for assisting humanitarian operations during war, offering support to displaced people in their own and in hosting countries, like the current situation in Ukraine. It helps relief organizations to closely follow the number of people in need and their locations, by monitoring the areas affected by the war. […]Read More
It is exactly four months ago today that Russian troops invaded the territory of Ukraine. The war in this country is still ongoing, with no end in sight. Groundstation has been reporting on the use of satellite data technologies in support of Ukraine, right from the first days of the war. Among the developing stories, […]Read More
With well over half of the world’s population living in cities, the urban environment is one of the key targets for Earth Observation (EO) applications. This was obvious at the recent EXPANDEO and FIRE Forum Conference in Brussels, that we reported on earlier here, where urban development was one of the key topics. FIRE Forum […]Read More
One of the biggest challenges of climate change is water-related. Flooding of cities is a natural hazard that occurs in many countries worldwide, generating economic, material and human loss. These floods bring misery to those that live in the areas affected. Water can come into people’s houses, pollute drinking water, break down electricity supply, block […]Read More
The rise in population in the last 100 years has led to a rapid expansion of the world’s cities. As a consequence, there are big infrastructure developments and construction projects, leading to urban change, which requires monitoring. Similarly, natural disasters or war can cause quick changes to a city infrastructure. Remote sensing by imaging radar […]Read More
EXPANDEO & the FIRE Forum 2022 is the event where participants get the chance to learn about market opportunities in various sectors while growing their business through networking and other interactive sessions. This long-awaited joint event will bring together key representatives from user communities, Earth Observation service providers and institutional actors to discuss the “Now […]Read More
Spring and summer are the peak seasons for wildfires. Its consequences can be devastating, ranging from significant loss of forest areas and risks to residential areas, to animal deaths and severe air pollution. One of the best tools to monitor these wildfires are satellites. Observing Fire from Space Satellite images and weather data help not […]Read More
The interpretation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite images involves the identification and measurement of targets in a radar image. This radar image is the result of extensive data processing, including calibration, geometric, and radiometric corrections. Analysing SAR images: finding your targets A target may be any feature or object which can be observed in […]Read More
