    Title

    Nowhere to Hide – The impacts on society of Ubiquitous Earth Coverage

    type

    oral

    Description

    The advent of large constellations of earth observing satellites provides frequent detailed coverage of human actions and infrastructure at high spatial and temporal resolution, uncovering a wide range of human and natural activity not as readily measured and observed in the past. It has opened new avenues for news coverage, regulatory compliance, market analysis, assessment of infrastructure health, mitigation / recovery from disasters, and influence on security. This session focuses on the dramatic new influences of ubiquitous earth coverage for human / societal interest applications such as news, security, business and marketing, policy, regulation, and privacy. Papers are encouraged addressing means, applications and impacts of this new era of ubiquitous coverage of human actions and infrastructure from space.
