11.11.2. Time-Series Satellite Imagery

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is time-series satellite imagery?

   Hint

   Think about how often satellites take pictures and why that might be useful.

2. 2.

   Name a natural phenomenon time-series satellite imagery can help monitor.

   Hint

   Consider natural disasters that are related to earth movement.

3. 3.

   What is the main purpose of time-series satellite imagery?

   • To take one-time images of the Earth
   • To monitor changes over time
   • To improve satellite technology

   Hint

   Remember the 'time-series' aspect of the imagery.

4. 4.

   True or False: Early warning systems are only used for predicting weather events.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about other risks besides weather that communities face.

5. 5.

   A coast city has seen gradual erosion over the last 10 years, potentially indicating an area of risk for landslides. How would you approach monitoring this with time-series satellite imagery?

   Hint

   Think about what factors of the environment could be shifting and how they relate to erosion.

6. 6.

   Design an early warning system based on time-series satellite imagery for a mountainous region prone to landslides. What data would you collect and analyze?

   Hint

   Consider which parameters might signal an increased risk for landslides.
