The European Space Imaging (EUSI) conference takes place in Munich from the 2nd to the 4th of December 2024.
Hannes Taubenböck gave an invited keynote speech in the opening session titled “War, flight, oppression – Potential for documentation with remote sensing”. In his presentation, he showed examples of remote sensing applications with regard to the war in Ukraine, as well as other causes of displacement such as poverty and hunger. In particular, he pointed out that remote sensing and other geodata are great data sources and tools for recording and analyzing processes spatially and quantitatively. However, he also showed that behind all this data are individual people and often terrible fates.
