Relief Inversion
When looking at aerial and satellite imagery, telling the difference between a canyon and a mountain can sometimes be tricky due to an optical illusion known as relief inversion.
Mapping Long-term Land Use Change with Remote Sensing Data
The USGS’ Land Change Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection (LCMAP) initiative is helping to better monitor the Earth and long-term land use change.
Using Geospatial Technologies to Map Hurricane Response
Using satellite data and artificial intelligence, researchers have developed a way to rapidly map hurricane destruction.
Mapping Jellyfish
Mapping swarms of jellyfish has significantly improved due to a combination of remote sensing data, UAV and satellite data, and algorithms that estimate jellyfish migration based on current data.
