MONITOR CLIMATE, CHANGE THE EARTH

Remote sensing is thé tool to monitor the driving forces of climate change, arguably the largest and most challenging problem our society is facing. Additionally, remote sensing serves to monitor the effects of climate change, e.g. changes in land cover and land use. These effects can be monitored at global scale, applying satellite imagery with low spatial resolution but delivering daily global coverage, but also at local scale, for instance to map the impact of extreme weather on agriculture.
