Ground Motion Service: decreasing ground level due to mining, exploitation of water resources, heavy buildings especially in costal regions, which adds risk in conjunction with Climate Change and Global Warming.
Petabytes of data is downstreamed from operated satellites currently in orbit. The challenge is to process the available data efficiently (see Big Data[9]).
Our brain processes visual data coming from our retina in our eyes e.g. by more that 1GB/s. Stored are only a few bytes. Explain why this filtering mechanism in our brain is necessary for efficient perception of visual data? What can we learn from neurophysiological data processing and what are the difference processing and storing and processing data from Earth Observation Satellites (e.g. using artificial neural network (ANN) for crop classification and landuse management).
Satellite data is freely available, but data processing is difficult for satellite data images.
application of OpenSource technology to process data (e.g. available in Wikiversity as learning resource or checkout scripts that do the processing),
provision of feedback to obstacles, challenges and sucesses in the discussion tab of Wikiversity to derive future development of Open Educational Resources for application of satellite technology e.g. for Sustainable Development Goals.
Big Data Machine Learning & Statistics & Numerics Decision Support Products
Combine detection of buildings by Earth Observation with census data, because in addition to dwellings and buildings the number of people relevant for exposure to hazards.
Reaching people are mainly to related to access services that utilize space technology for spatial decision support.
GPS-sensor on the mobile device allows to tailor information to the geolocation of the user, ...
Earth Observation is used to provide weather forecast for agricultural activities and provide warnings to local population.
Satellite communication to allow communication via
Ubiquitous mobile devices with sensors for receiving and processing geolocations. Websites can retrieve geolocation informations with an API even roughly by the IP-address (see Geolocation-API by W3Schools). Maps can be implemented in HTML5 WebApps by OpenSource frameworks like OpenLayers or LeafletJS.
Open Community Approach - Open/Free Satellite Data
Sentinell Programme and Landsat Programme provide free access to satellite technology. What are the differences and similarities in the provision of services.
Possible starting point for creating OS-Geo e.g. https://live.osgeo.org, that has already a whole set of geospatial tools preinstalled on the Linx Operating System.
Free Satellite Images and Geographic Information System: Try to calculate the NDVI with the Open Source GIS (e.g. GRASS or QGIS - see Low-Cost Precision Farming)
Explain, where do you use satellite technology in your daily work and activities!
Compare GSM Network Communication with Satellite Communication. Explain economic, technical, ... benefits, challenges and limits of the both technological approaches.
Risk Management can uses a fallback method, in which the failure of one technology allows another technology to replace the service.
Dust storms are a major hazard, they can be detected from outer space.
Satellites revisit time to a specific geolocation implies that users had to wait for a specific time span until they will get a new satellite image of the same geolocation. Analyse applications of earth observation and explain the impact of revisit time on the application of earth observation. Explain the benefits and challenges of linking several satellites to reduce the time span until you get a new image.
