The following images are annotated screenshots of Sentinel-2 L1C imagery collected as part of the European Copernicus programme. The upper two images show image data collected in November 2016, whilst the lower two images show the same area in January 2018.

If you are not aware of it, this is a 2-day conference on the use of free and open source software (FOSS) for geospatial (4G) processing, data handling and … Continue reading Conference week

The images … Continue reading A first look at Sentinel 2 imagery

As stated on the event page: This event brings together leading Agriculture, Food and Space companies to understand the challenges in the agriculture and food sector and what satellites can do to help. Innovate … Continue reading Satellites for Agri-Food
Landsat 9 approved
The fact that the US Government has approved and given the go-ahead to Landsat 9 is great news! Especially for Geoger Ltd., as the Landsat archive is often used as a source of data for our clients. The official announcement about Landsat 9 includes the following statement: The President’s fiscal year 2016 budget calls for … Continue reading Landsat 9 approved
Soggy soils
Soil moisture is a key variable for environmental and agricultural models. Later this month a new satellite mission will be launched that will allow researchers, businesses and organisations understand changes in global soil moisture in more detail. Here at Geoger Ltd. we have our fingers crossed for a successful launch and deployment of the system. Below are … Continue reading Soggy soils
