ADRC participated in an international scientific and practical conference
entitled "Monitoring and Forecasting Climate-related Natural Disasters" for strengthening early warning and resilience through science, innovation, and partnerships, held in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. ADRC gave a presentation related to the activities of Sentinel Asia. The presentation included an overview of Sentinel Asia, and examples of emergency observation requests (EOR) submitted by the Sentinel Asia members in the past. Participants noted that landslides are a significant challenge in Kyrgyzstan and expressed interest in utilising satellite imagery for image analysis and other applications.
Presentation by Dr IKEDA Makoto, ADRC Senior Researcher
In addition to participating in the conference, ADRC representatives visited the Central Asian Institute of Applied Geosciences (CAIAG) on behalf of Sentinel Asia, and exchanged opinions on the future activities of Sentinel Asia. CAIAG suggested that satellite images and image analysis results provided through EOR should be shared with disaster risk management agencies as appropriate.
