Remote Sensing

Satellite Imagery

Satellite imagery provides medium to high-resolution views of the Earth, often updated within hours of acquisition. These images are widely used for mapping land cover, monitoring change, and analyzing environmental conditions. Check out the Satellite Imagery page to explore resources and learn how to access satellite data.

Aerial Photography

Aerial photography captures high-resolution snapshots from planes and drones, offering detailed historical and contemporary perspectives. These images are valuable for studying landscapes, urban development, and land use before and beyond the satellite era. Visit the Aerial Photography subpage to discover where and how to access aerial photography collections.

LiDAR

LiDAR uses laser scanning technology to create detailed elevation models, capturing terrain, vegetation, and built environments with centimetre-level accuracy. This data supports applications such as flood modeling, forestry analysis, and 3D mapping. Click to the LiDAR subpage to see available datasets and tools for working with LiDAR.
