How satellite technology helps us monitor the changing health of our planet
In short: This video explores how the European Space Agency provides essential tools to visualize and analyze Earth observation data, offering critical insights for global challenges like climate change.
Space-based tools are fundamental for understanding the complexities of our planet. By utilizing satellite missions and specialized instruments, researchers can acquire vast amounts of Earth observation data.
Platforms like the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem provide free, instant access to data from the Copernicus Sentinel missions. Platforms like the Multi-mission Algorithm and Analysis Platform (MAAP) serve as directories for data from ESA’s Earth Explorer, Heritage, and Third Party Missions. These tools allow for the sophisticated processing and visualization required to address global issues, such as the climate objectives discussed at the 2015 UN Climate Change Conference in Paris.
