Watching a glacier
Astronauts have been taking photographs of the Earth from space for over 50 years and Earth observation scientists have used satellite images for a similar amount of time. This EO Detective activity aims to demonstrate how a vantage point in space, such as the International Space Station, provides a unique perspective from which people can monitor environmental processes and change.
This activity shows how Earth Observation (EO) data is used to monitor environmental change and also asks students to measure irregular areas in a sequence of bright
false-colour composites pictures created from satellite data.
