Project overview
This project aims to learn and understand the role that satellite data, and big data in general, can play in addressing the UN 2030 agenda to end poverty, protect the planet and improve lives and prospects.
The advantage of using satellite data is that they are impartial, provide information on a global scale and can be easily accessed by everyone, everywhere. The final goal of the project is to provide innovative solutions to the utilisation of satellite data to address one or more, of the sustainable development goals.
The project seeks to understand the role that satellite data can play in monitoring and quantifying the worldwide effort to advance the UN 2030 agenda for sustainable development. It further seeks to develop, design and build alternative solutions for using satellite data to address the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
What will students be doing
Students are tasked with selecting one of the 17 SDGs and investigate if/how satellite and ground data have been used to meet its targets. After the background research is completed, the project develops into the generation of innovative ideas for addressing the selected SDG and its targets with the use of Earth Observation data and other appropriate data sources.
