Abstract: Abstract. Earth observation (EO) data – including satellite-borne, airborne or drone-based imagery – have become indispensable for the monitoring of the environment. EO supports tackling the ‘grand challenges’ at global spatial scales, such as global change and climate variability technology but also retail or insurance. Like a macroscope, it opens research avenues to observe processes occurring over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales, from abrupt changes such as earthquakes, to decadal shifts such as growth and shrinkage of ic...
