Lunchtime Discovery: Who Mapped it Best? Exploring Satellite Imagery Options for Flood Mapping

  • Wednesday, April 16, 2025
  • 12:00pm - 1:00pm

Flooding causes many types of harm from economic losses and damages to disrupting daily life. In the past few decades there has been an increase in the quantity and accessibility of satellite imagery. This imagery, in combination with machine learning can be turned into flood maps that can help decision-makers recover and prepare for future events.  We will explore different types of imagery and how they can be leveraged to map flooding.
