The role of SAR in all-weather maritime monitoring
Radar sees through cloud and works at night, which on a monsoon coast is the difference between a monitoring capability and a seasonal one.

Earth Observation and maritime intelligence in Africa
The constraint on African maritime monitoring is not satellite data, which is free and abundant. It is the analysis capacity to turn that data into decisions.

Earth Observation for marine resource management
Marine protected areas are designated on a map, then have to be managed in the water. Satellite observation is one of the few tools that scales to that gap.

AI, Earth Observation and the blue economy
The blue economy is a set of decisions about a shared resource. Better observation improves those decisions only if it reaches the people making them.

Working on the same problems?
We are interested in research collaboration, particularly on validation and on the limits of these methods in African conditions.
