The increasing importance of South American agriculture in the international market has emphasised the need for accurate and timely information about crop development and production. In recent decades the use of remote sensing and agrometeorological data in crop monitoring systems has become the...

A land-cover map of Africa has been produced using multi-sensor satellite observations at a spatial resolution of 1 km. The map highlights the major vegetation formations throughout the continent with an improved thematic content over previous land cover maps, identifying over 24 land cover...

This report describes the current status and limitations of the power sector in Burkina Faso and develops a new methodology that through spatial analysis processes aims to provide a possible pathway for universal electricity access through a sustainable energy mix. Two percent of the rural...

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) changed the way we know where we are, how we orientate ourselves and move from one place to another. GNSSs consist of constellations of satellites working in conjunction with a network of ground stations. Satellites orbit around the Earth and broadcast...

Satellite data play an essential role in disaster risk management. For example, when a disaster occurs, based on the analysis of pre- and post-disaster satellite data, emergency responders can get an overall picture of what has happened, where, and the characteristics, extent and severity of the...
