    Better (more accurate) link and title: https://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/Coperni...

    We're exploring using the SAR data for conservation / deforestation monitoring. Anybody else working in this space who has blazed the trail?

      Dr. Naomi Schwartz and her lab at the University of British Columbia comes to mind for remote sensing applications in relation to deforestation monitoring.

    Uhhh... editor/author/LLM was asleep here. There are 4 sentinel-1 sats in orbit, but one of them has been decommissioned because of system failure... as the article itself states.

      You are right. It should be something like “Replacement Sentinel-1 Satellite is Live, Ensuring the Future of ESA‘s Copernicus Program”

    No they’re not. What in the heck? Is this LLM slop?
