Earth observation, also known as remote sensing, provides highly relevant information about the state and change of our planet every day via satellite data worldwide. The data can be used, for example, to gather information about heat islands in cities, droughts or the condition of forests.
Earth observation is currently opening up additional data sources: With sensors installed on commercially available drones, it is obtaining further detailed environmental information—and at a spatial resolution so high that it cannot be achieved with satellite data.
