Mapping surface water with satellite data and AI tools
Unlocking best practices, data sources, and emerging AI techniques for extracting flood extents from satellite and aerial imagery
About
Satellites have been capturing multispectral images of the Earth for over five decades—starting with Landsat in 1972. For regions lacking consistent ground-based monitoring, this rich historical dataset is an invaluable resource for water professionals.
Join us for this free webinar demonstration on how to make the most of satellite imagery for surface water mapping. You’ll discover how to access, analyse, and process data from platforms such as Landsat and Sentinel and how to use AI tools to extract inundation extents with confidence. Then join Dr Qiusheng Wu again the following week for a premium hands-on webinar on 23 July, focused on practical AI tools and workflows for surface water mapping.
Whether you’re working in a data-scarce region or seeking advanced methods to validate surface water models, this session will offer practical guidance and tools to support your work. We’ll showcase case studies from both developing and well-instrumented areas, demonstrating the flexibility and power of remote sensing combined with AI.
