Event details
Talk Introduction Earth Observation (EO) is not a new science however with a 50 year history in satellite based exploration and science it has also encouraged new, and all the more daring missions with novel technological improvements and innovations to help us understand Earth (and beyond) even more.
This talk will first take us back to 1972 and the launch of the Earth Resources Terrain Satellite (ERTS-1 later known as Landsat) where commercial usage of Earth Observation data really began and from here we will explore the principles important to understand when it comes to what has the most value for the questions we want to answer through examples of missions and innovations that have helped to drive the use (and demand) for this data even more.
We will explore the challenges and opportunities within the space sector that have led to some fantastic missions both from a technological and operational point of view whilst also touching on how open data has made such a massive impact on our capabilities specifically for geology and related applications.
Space is changing and the applications are not just changing but evolving, building on the legacy that early EO has provided to generate some real value to geoscience applications, especially with increased focus on ESG monitoring and more prevalence and importance of understanding our environmental footprint.
Satellites are not just a one time usage but a multi-purpose toolkit that provide the contextual information not provided by other sources that is entirely complementary to more traditional surveying methods. Their value is in understanding the potential and the information they provide rather than the technology that drives them.
What can satellites do for you? They provide valuable information in a cost effective way that can improve decision making through de-risking from the comfort of your home or office.
No technology has the complete answer, but satellites provide a big piece of that picture.
