Similarly, Russian high resolution satellite imagery is being evaluated.

Land use applications using radar satellite imagery for the areas of Madaba and Azraq are being studied, and comparisons have been made using satellite imagery.

Insufficient access to satellite imagery for teaching and research purposes

This is really what brought me to using satellite imagery.

The secretariat of ISDR uses satellite imagery in disaster risk reduction.

Satellite imagery, along with other meteorological data, is used for weather forecasting.

Russian high resolution satellite imagery is being evaluated for the same purpose.

Satellite imagery of the most significant sites continues to be collected and assessed.

High resolution satellite imagery high resolution commercial satellite imagery looks for evidence of relevant activities on the ground and is being evaluated in relation to nuclear sites for its value to the verification process.

UNOPS has brokered agreements for satellite imagery, such as Satellite pour l'observation de la Terre (SPOT) and Ikonos data, to ensure that United Nations entities receive imagery at the lowest cost and with the best available licence agreement.

Requests for satellite imagery and associated products could be made to a number of vendors, including Satellitbild.

satellite imagery and ground sensors linked to monitoring centres, which could help to reduce the number of UNMOs

The object of the exercise is to avoid multiple purchases of identical satellite imagery within the United Nations.

The Russian defence satellite imagery is available as monographic (areas of 40 by 160 km with 2 metre details) and stereographic (areas of 200 by 300 km with 10 metre details) imagery.

Supported by the UNOSAT service, several projects in Latin America receive satellite imagery for risk assessment, mapping and forecast.

The use of satellite imagery to create a database of vegetation types, forest degradation and urban development was demonstrated.

We have strengthened the verification system through enhanced use of satellite imagery, environmental sampling and a variety of new technologies.

Most geographical information needs can be met using satellite imagery, but non specialists face difficulties in obtaining the right information.

However, in areas with a history of earthquake activity, faults associated with seismic activity could be identified using satellite imagery.

In the field of Earth observation, France primarily has the SPOT network (Earth observation satellite) with high resolution optical imagery.

33. The increased spatial and temporal resolutions of satellite imagery and plans for deploying Earth observation satellite constellations would alleviate some of the problems faced in operationalizing remote sensing applications.

The UNOSAT service and its implementing partner used a combination of optical and ground penetrating radar satellite imagery and field surveys.

The UNOSAT service has developed and hosts a geographical metadatabase on very high resolution satellite imagery purchased by United Nations entities.

Through the use of satellite imagery and modelling, a study of the suitability for development of urban zones was carried out.

The Meeting noted that the option of requesting satellite imagery from the Charter was open to all entities of the United Nations system, provided that the recipients of the data respected copyrights, used satellite imagery internally, made the value added products available to all those responding to the emergency and provided a report on the use of the imagery to the executive secretariat of the Charter.

When fires had been suppressed, the FS employed satellite imagery to map and assess changes in the landscape caused by the fires.

A wide range of remote monitoring techniques and technologies exist, outside of normal regulatory oversight, e.g. hyperspectral imaging systems and satellite imagery.

The examination of multi spectral visible near infrared high resolution satellite imagery for indications of plant stress in the environment is ongoing.

Create an association of remote sensing educators and subsequently lobby space agencies (e.g. ESA) and other providers of satellite data for preferential access to satellite imagery for educational and research purposes in Africa

Real time satellite images support the crop monitoring activities of GIEWS through ARTEMIS, which receives, processes and stores medium and low resolution imagery.

High resolution satellite imagery (HRSI) is an important tool for increasing the efficiency during the planning and implementation phases of refugee work relief operations.

Fortunately, just after the earthquake, GeoEye, a commercial company, released satellite imagery with a license, which allowed the open source community to use it.

UNOSAT support includes methodological guidance, satellite imagery selection and procurement, image processing, editing of maps and geographical information systems (GIS) services, training and research.

RESPOND is an alliance of European and international organizations working with the humanitarian community to improve access to maps, satellite imagery and geographical information.

Such cooperation could consolidate a partnership of institutions committed to helping individual countries build capacity, raise awareness and use satellite imagery for emergency response.

RESPOND was an alliance of European and international organizations working with the humanitarian community to improve access to maps, satellite imagery and geographical information.

Based on classification of the Landsat or Spot satellite imagery, the information provided updates averages of the main crops on regional or district levels.

Hence the development of SPOT View products (cartographic products in digital or analogue form) meets a demand for satellite imagery for Geographic Information Systems.

UNOSAT is the Institute's programme on operational satellite applications and the sole United Nations activity entirely dedicated to elaborating satellite imagery and developing this technology for the use of the United Nations and developing countries worldwide.

As such, RRSP is developing national capacities for the analysis and interpretation of coarse resolution satellite imagery and for the subsequent generation of information products.

Of the 109 sites analysed from satellite imagery and determined to have been cleaned to some degree, 58 had been under monitoring for missile activities.

It has already provided enhanced and analysed satellite imagery, relevant GIS layers, estimations of coastal and infrastructural damage and of the number of people affected.

Nearly 200 maps, using the satellite imagery provided, were produced within the first weeks and made available to emergency relief teams responding to the disaster.

The Department of Peacekeeping Operations was instrumental in developing a United Nations system contract for purchasing very high resolution satellite imagery from different commercial vendors.
