Since the 1960's, satellite imagery has been available of the earth's surface. However, for non-defence related activity, it was not until the 1980's that satellite imagery and remote sensing began to emerge as viable decision support intelligence across commercial and civilian government. However, technology limitations (cost, licencing, weather conditions and many other factors) limited the viability of use for many operational requirements. Has the industry now broken down these barriers? In this podcast, Dr Andy Wells outlines some of the key technological (and commercial) advances within the last 5 years. It seeks to exemplify and demonstrate how satellite imagery can be applied across insurance, asset risk, investment, climate risk, supply chain management and others to provide data, insight and knowledge regarding the planet we inhabit - potentially monitoring everything - everywhere - all at once!
