Edinburgh Earth Observatory

The Edinburgh Earth Observatory develop the science around geospatial and earth observation technologies to understand our planet, to improve the lives, health, and opportunities of the people on it, and to protect its environment.

We work with satellites and UAVs to gather, sort, and link together data about our planet. This work is then used to produce maps, visualisations, and models which enhance our understanding of the processes and systems of the Earth and inform policymaking. We work with people, industry, governments, and other organisations to improve lives and protect the environment.   

Our research is thanks to the hard work of the people in this group. Click their names to find out more on their profile.

These will be linked to profiles (and possibly pulled from a database) when this goes live

Research case studies

(working title)

[ In future development of the site, there will be an opportunity for each research group to have a select number (no more than 3 ) of research case studies to showcase on their page. These will be links to research case studies that are/will be in the "Featured Research" section. 

This could be research that members of your group are most proud of, feel like it reflects best on the range of research undertaken, or would be most attractive to prospective research students. ]
