Monitoring Atmospheric Pollution From Space

Monitoring Atmospheric Pollution From Space

Author: MapScaping September 21, 2022 Duration: 38:53
It turns out that monitoring atmospheric pollution from space is really hard! But if you can do it will help you understand air quality, solar energy, ozone Layer and UV radiation, emissions and surfaces fluxes, and climate forcing    Contact Mark on Twitter https://twitter.com/m_parrington   Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service https://atmosphere.copernicus.eu/ https://twitter.com/CopernicusECMWF Check out the Earth Observation Hub! https://geoawesomeness.com/eo-hub/ More Geospatial Podcasts episodes    Recommended Podcast Earth Observation Podcasts   Fake Satellite Imagery  https://mapscaping.com/podcast/fake-satellite-imagery/   The LandSat Program https://mapscaping.com/podcast/the-landsat-program/   How To Keep Your Satellite Pointing At Earth https://mapscaping.com/podcast/the-landsat-program/

The MapScaping Podcast delves into the intricate world where geography meets data. This isn't about static paper maps, but the dynamic, digital systems that help us understand our planet. Each conversation focuses on the practical and the visionary within GIS, geospatial technology, remote sensing, and earth observation. You'll hear directly from the cartographers, data scientists, software developers, and analysts who are building the tools and interpreting the information that defines modern digital geography. The discussions explore how satellite imagery is used, how location intelligence solves complex problems, and where the technology is headed next. For professionals, students, or anyone fascinated by how we chart and comprehend our world, this podcast offers a grounded look at a field that is constantly redrawing its own boundaries. Tune in to The MapScaping Podcast for insights that are as much about the people and ideas shaping this space as they are about the technology itself. It's a consistent source for those who think spatially, providing depth and context that goes beyond the software interface. Listen to find out how the hidden structures of geospatial data influence everything from urban planning and environmental conservation to business logistics and everyday apps.
