Using Satellite Imagery for Data Center and Land Use Tracking

Climate Justice Public Protections Climate Energy Environmental Justice North Carolina

Join the Center for Progressive Reform and the North Carolina Environmental Justice Network on Tuesday, February 24 at 1 p.m. Eastern time for a webinar, “Using Satellite Imagery for Data Center and Land Use Tracking.” The webinar will introduce attendees to an open-source pipeline to acquire, export, and process satellite images, as well as some case studies that showcase the potential for this approach.

The webinar will also serve as a training opportunity, providing an overview of the basic concepts and opportunities these tools enable. We aim for this to be a starting point in satellite imagery and GIS applications.

Panelists will introduce the audience to what satellite imagery is; explain the necessary steps for constructing a pipeline to acquire images and using them to create other visual outputs; and walk attendees through some relevant case studies where these resources show their real value.
