Big Data in Earth Observation

November 8, 2017

Earth Observation (EO) can be defined as the gathering of information about Earth’s physical, chemical and biological systems using remote sensing technologies such as satellites and aerial sensors, supplemented (Science Communication Unit, 2013) by ground-based observations and other surveying techniques. EO is used to monitor and assess the status of, and changes in, the natural and man-made environment. Space-based technologies deliver reliable and repeat-coverage datasets, which combined with research and development of appropriate methods, provide a unique means for gathering information concerning the planet. EO data therefore serves as an important basis for decision-making for sustainable development and disaster management.

Are Predictive Analytics Truly Predictive?

whitePaper | April 19, 2023

Unplanned downtime is one of the most significant pain points for industrial manufacturers today, costing them an estimated $50 billion each year.
