UN-SPIDER/ASAL/ZFL Workshop: Space-based Solutions for Forest Fires in Algeria

This is event is available for participation on an ongoing basis

Introduction

In recent decades, communities in Africa have experienced disasters triggered by floods, droughts, landslides, forest fires, Ebola pandemics, and locust plagues that have eroded hard-won development gains. Taking note of advances in space technologies and other technological innovations, the African Union indicated in its 2017 African Space Policy that space represented a unique opportunity for cooperation in using and sharing enabling infrastructure and data towards the proactive management of, inter alia, responses to natural hazards and disasters.

University of Glasgow Research: Satellite Analysis of Rivers Could Provide Improved Flood Warnings

Scientists at the University of Glasgow have pioneered a method for monitoring river flows using satellite analysis, offering an advanced early warning system for flood risk. Current methods rely on expensive and challenging-to-install stream gauges, limiting coverage, especially in remote areas. The Glasgow researchers utilized video footage from a Chinese satellite to measure river discharge during a February 2022 flood along a 12-mile section of Australia's Darling River.

Introduction to Google Earth Engine (GEE) for Remote Sensing Analysis

This is event is available for participation on an ongoing basis

Google Earth Engine (GEE) is an example of a cloud-based image service that combines an extensive archive of satellite imagery, historical and current, with application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow analysis to be performed on this imagery without having to move it to the user’s desktop.

Want to learn more about this?

The AgroInformatics Team from the Digitalization and Informatics Division (CSI) of the FAO is launching a new series of interactive trainings, on “Introduction to Google Earth Engine (GEE) for remote sensing analysis”.

World Economic Forum Published The Global Risks Report 2024

The Global Risks Report explores some of the most severe risks we may face over the next decade, against a backdrop of rapid technological change, economic uncertainty, a warming planet and conflict. As cooperation comes under pressure, weakened economies and societies may only require the smallest shock to edge past the tipping point of resilience.
