Institutions and companies are increasingly faced with a powerful incentive to analyse and assess the impact of their activities, both to respond to increasingly demanding governmental regulations and to shift voluntarily towards sustainability and resilience. To integrate environmental considerations in their decision-making processes, they need reliable, up-to-date information: this is where support from environmental monitoring techniques and tools comes in.
Thanks to remote-sensing satellites, space enables scientists, decision makers, solution providers and the public to access a wide range of information about Earth (including physical, chemical, and biological data, etc.) that is key to studying and protecting our environment. With the ever-growing range of satellite systems with refined capacities (heightened spatial resolution, bigger scene sizes, increasing revisit times) and the development of open access data, Earth observation-based solutions are now being applied to a variety of environmental monitoring use cases.
