#9 Analyzing Times Series Data for Humanitarian Response

Dylan George from In-Q-Tel's (IQT) B.Next joins CosmiQ Works' Jake Shermeyer and Ryan Lewis to discuss how a time series of satellite imagery can be used in humanitarian response scenarios. A time series of satellite images can play a major role in these scenarios and assist practitioners in identifying areas that experience a change in population, the loss of electrical power, and/or rapid changes in land-cover. The podcast addresses two main questions: (1) How can practitioners quickly analyze these time series with open source software tools, such as CosmiQ’s CometTS tool suite; and (2) How can those tools be used to support a humanitarian response effort? 

Learn how CosmiQ tackled these questions with their CometTS tool suite through the study of satellite imagery of Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria.
