Cases

Continental crop type mapping with openEO

This case explains how you can use openEO to produce continental crop type maps. Discover more about the possibilities, setup and challenges involved including the collection of training data, computing power, DevOps techniques, parallel processing, FAIR principles, data catalogs, reproducibility.

Monitoring wind speed with Sentinel-1

Wind is a key resource to enable the green energy transition and stop the emission of greenhouse gasses that is driving climate change. Discover how the Sentinel-1 wind speed and direction observations provide insights into ocean wind patterns.

Remote sensing solutions for water management

Thanks to the large amount of earth observation data and advanced possibilities in processing and using this data, more and more remote sensing applications find their way to the general public. Also for monitoring water quality. At Rijkswaterstaat (the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management in The Netherlands) they are using remote sensing solutions for managing water surfaces and monitoring public health.

Urban Heat Island mapping with combined Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 observations

Discover a preview application which combines Sentinel-3-derived Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Sentinel-2 reflectance data to improve the nominal 1 km LST to 20 m in order to provide detailed information on for example the Urban Heat Island effect.

WorldCover: worldwide land cover mapping

Discover more about WorldCover, the global land cover products at 10 m resolution for 2020 and 2021 based on Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data.

Monitoring deformation of bridges using Sentinel-1

In the MOSCI project, IMDC and VITO looked into the feasibility of using InSAR technology to monitor deformation of large structures. This remote sensing technology uses freely available Sentinel-1 data which allows us to monitor e.g. hundreds of bridges at the same time.

SARSAR case

Automatic redevelopment sites monitoring using Sentinel data

Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data for urban planning and land management.

TerraFlood use case

TerraFlood: mapping and monitoring floods using Sentinel-1 data

TerraFlood is a Virtual Machine application to provides spatially consistent flood observations independent of weather conditions.

FARSEER to monitor vector-borne diseases

Forecasting and monitoring vector-borne diseases with FARSEER

Discover more about FARSEER, an online tool which uses satellite data from MODIS, VIIRS, PROBA-V and Sentinel to forecast and monitor vector-borne diseases in order to prevent the next outbreak.

Californian wildfires monitoring with Sentinel-5P TROPOMI

Monitoring atmospheric gases during wildfires
