Remote sensing over the Polar Regions has poked its head above the ice recently. On the 8th February The Cryosphere, a journal of the European Geosciences Union, published a paper by Smith et al titled ’Connected sub glacial lake drainage … Continue reading
Being able to visualise the changing face of the planet over time is one of the greatest strengths of satellite remote sensing. Our previous blog showed how Dubai’s coastline has evolved over a decade, and last week NASA described interesting … Continue reading
As this is the final blog of the year we’d like to take a look back over the past fifty-two weeks and see which blog’s captured people’s attention, and conversely which did not! It turns out that seven of the … Continue reading

We’re all about small satellites with this blog, after looking at the big beast that is GOES-R last week. Small satellites, microsatellites, cubesats or one of the other myriad of names they’re described as, have been in the news this … Continue reading
On Saturday, 19th November, at 10.42pm GMT the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R Series (GOES-R) is due to be launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida, USA. The GOES-R is a geostationary weather satellite operated by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration … Continue reading
I am approaching the end of my year at Pixalytics, and this blog is summary of what I’ve learnt from working for a small commercial remote sensing company. The work itself has been a real blessing for me. Remote sensing product … Continue reading
This blog post is about what I did and what thoughts came to mind on my three-month long ERASMUS+ internship at Pixalytics which began in July and ends this week. During my first week at Pixalytics, after being introduced to … Continue reading
The two main types of satellite data are optical and radar used in remote sensing. We’re going to take a closer look at each type using the Ankgor Wat site in Cambodia, which was the location of the competition we … Continue reading
Did you know it’s World Space Week? It occurs between the 4th and 10th October each year, because: On 4th October 1957 the first human-made Earth satellite, Sputnik 1, was launched; and On 10th October 1967: The Treaty on Principles … Continue reading
