SIA Webinar: Commercial Remote Sensing Satellites Enable Climate Action
Thursday, May 13th, 2021
11:00 am – 11:45 am EST
 
Commercial remote sensing satellite constellations capture global data that enables scientists, governments and corporations to formulate effective data-based solutions to monitor and measure the effects of climate change. These commercial domestic datasets complement government-operated space and ground-based sensors, and dramatically improve the spatial, temporal, and spectral resolution available to scientists, researchers, and policymakers.
