The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) successfully launched the EOS-08 earth observation satellite on 16 August 2024 on board of the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV-D3). This marks the third and final developmental flight of the SSLV, placing the EOS-08 satellite precisely into a 475 km orbit.
In recent years, wildfires have become a growing global concern, with climate change-driven extreme weather contributing to their increasing frequency and severity. Regions from Canada to Australia and the Mediterranean have seen devastating impacts, including loss of life, destruction of property, and significant atmospheric emissions.

AI has been part of our imaginations and simmering in research labs since a handful of computer scientists rallied around the term at the Dartmouth Conferences in 1956 and birthed the field of AI. In the decades since, AI has alternately been heralded as the key to our civilization’s brightest future. Artificial Intelligence is a program that can sense, reason, act and adapt. Machine Learning refers to algorithms whose performance improve as they are exposed to more data over time.
The course is designed for Professionals willing to get acquainted with AI,ML and Dl and use the technology geospatial applications, students & researchers of civil engineering, computer science, Data Analytics, geoinformatics, Geomatics etc.
Climate change is increasingly impacting vulnerable populations with climate-related shocks such as floods, droughts, and extreme heat. REACH conducts intersectoral assessments to better understand humanitarian needs in crisis situations and incorporates remote sensing into these studies. This approach aligns with REACH's goal to mainstream climate analysis and transcend the limitations of country-specific research.
EOS-04 carrying a C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR ) is a follow-on mission to RISAT-1 launched in 2012. The satellite has all weather, day and night imaging capability. It provides continuity of C-band SAR data to the user community, especially for agricultural applications.
The Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP) is a German hyperspectral satellite mission that monitors and characterizes Earth’s environment on a global scale. EnMAP measures geochemical, biochemical and biophysical variables providing information on the status and evolution of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. More information about the main objectives and the status can be found on the mission page.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has introduced updated guidelines aimed at helping countries manage the increasing threat of extreme wildfires, exacerbated by climate change. The new publication, Integrated Fire Management Voluntary Guidelines: Principles and Strategic Actions, updates previous guidelines from two decades ago, reflecting the growing challenges posed by longer, hotter, and drier fire seasons.

Join on 11 October to celebrate Disaster Risk Reduction Day 2024 and learn about the Joint Research Centre's (JRC) work on crisis management and the risks and opportunities of the future.
The annual conference will focus on how early-warning and monitoring data - on droughts, wildfires, floods, emergency mapping and population exposure - provided by the JRC's Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS) can support a wide range of policies and help build disaster risk management strategies.
