Topic: Remote Sensing

Remote sensing is the science of gathering information about the Earth's surface without being in direct physical contact with it, typically using satellite or aerial imagery.

More on: Remote Sensing

The podcast episodes provided cover various applications and use cases of remote sensing technology, showcasing its versatility in addressing environmental, humanitarian, and research challenges.

For example, the episode 'Feature: 'AI and the Holy Grail of Conservation' from Click Here' discusses the use of remote sensing techniques, such as deploying audio recorders and using drones, to monitor forest elephants in the Central African Republic. Similarly, the episode 'Corals Are Once Again Bleaching En Masse, but Their Fate Isn't Sealed' mentions the use of satellite data and aerial surveys to monitor and assess the extent of coral bleaching events.

The podcast episodes also cover the use of remote sensing data, particularly satellite imagery and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), for applications such as mapping building footprints, detecting changes in population density, and assessing damage in conflict zones, as seen in the episodes '#9 Analyzing Times Series Data for Humanitarian Response' and 'How satellite radar helps scientists map the destruction in Gaza'. Additionally, the episodes '#26 SpaceNet 6 Challenge Results: Multi-Sensor All-Weather Mapping' and '#21 Announcing SpaceNet® 6: Multi-Sensor All Weather Mapping' delve into the challenges and opportunities associated with analyzing and extracting information from remote sensing data using machine learning techniques.
