Exciting news from the #EarthEngine data team 📢
#Sentinel1 #SAR data latency is reduced from 1.5-2 days to about 12 hours; a significant improvement for crisis response and near-real time Earth monitoring.

We built the new processing platform for the @DisastersChart entirely on STAC enabling unified data pipeline for processing satellite imagery from contributing Space Agencies.
It reduces the high resolution data analysis latency for rapid response to natural disasters.

Great example about how satellite imagery can be used to uncover and investigate local issues! 🛰
The oil industry in north east #Syria is increasingly resorting to construction open-air oil wast pits due to lack of proper oil facilities and equipment. Here's a @planetlabs 2016-2021 timelaps of an oil pit south of the Jabisah oil refinery.

The sad start of the 2021 #wildfire season 🔥 Satellite images are an important tool for early detection and fighting of such wildfires, especially in isolated and uninhabited areas!

Earth observation can be an important tool in humanitarian work. It can make the extent of #HumanitarianCrisis visible: Take a look at the expansion of #Kutupalong from 2016 until today... It is the world's largest #RefugeeCamp. Nearly 600,000 people are living there.
