EO-based services to support humanitarian operations: monitoring population and natural resources in refugee/IDP camps

Project Details

Description

The acquisition of in-situ spatial data in these often remotely located camp surroundings is challenging and sometimes even dangerous. Thus the EO4HumEn project aims at developing operational services and products to support humanitarian operations during crisis situations by means of dedicated geo-spatial information products derived from Earth observation (EO) and GIS data. The developed products will be provided as maps and online services.
