  • Risk situation can be mitigated by prevention measures, early warning tools and adequate monitoring of past experiences where Earth Observation and geospatial analysis have an adding value. This paper discusses the potential use of Earth Observation data and especially Land Cover / Land Use map in addressing within the three aspects of the risk assessment: danger, exposure and vulnerability. Evidences of the harmful effects of air pollution or heat waves are widely admitted and should increase in the context of global warming. Moreover, urban areas are generally warmer than rural surroundings, the so-called urban heat island. Combined with in-situ measurements, this paper presents mod...

  • As the new National 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) prepares to provide high-resolution lidar coverage for continental United States, Hawaii, and the territories, it is important to consider that terrain information captured in elevation data are pixel-based instead of feature-based. Referencing 3DEP data for semantic access and inferencing requires the transcription of pixels into accessible features. Indeed, accessing and inferencing terrain features renders them more operational for long-term national mapping. Much progress has been made in transcribing pixels into terrain features using Geographic Object-Based Image Analysis (GEOBIA), as compared to traditional, pixel-based image anal...
