Ocean Intelligence using Space Data
Day: Monday 29 September
Time: 17:05 - 18:05 AEST
Location: Parkside 2
The Oceans cover 71% of our planet’s surface and supports the livelihoods of over 3 billion people. Oceans are warming and rising, with potentially far-reaching consequences for coastal communities and beyond. Resilience and preparedness can be enabled by leveraging diverse innovative products that make use of satellite data and in situ information. By convening non-space actors, the private sector, space agencies and the UN, this session will explore opportunities, challenges, and gaps in using space data for maritime security, early warning, ocean preservation and resilience.
