Cases

Monitoring Sulphur Dioxide (plumes) with satellite data

Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) emissions affect air quality, climate, and aviation safety. With Sentinel-5P TROPOMI, we can track SO₂ plumes globally in unprecedented detail. Discover how satellite data supports air quality monitoring, climate research, and hazard mitigation.

Revealing high-resolution surface Nitrogen Dioxide concentration with machine learning

Monitoring and improving our air quality is essential to protect our public health and safeguard the environment. Terrascope offers a series of air quality maps including a daily NO2 surface concentration. Discover more about this groundbreaking NO2 product derived with an advanced machine learning (ML) framework to integrate multi-source datasets.

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

Discover how Rijkswaterstaat (the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management in The Netherlands) uses remote sensing solutions to monitor water surfaces.

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

Discover a preview application which combines Sentinel-3-derived Land Surface Temperature and Sentinel-2 reflectance data for Urban Heat Island effects.

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.

Californian wildfires monitoring with Sentinel-5P TROPOMI

Monitoring atmospheric gases during wildfires

Discover how we can monitor formaldehyde and carbon monoxide, emitted by the Australian and Californian wildfires, by using Sentinel-5P TROPOMI.
