Mapping climate vulnerabilities of slums by combining citizen science and earth observation technology

Become a high-skilled geospatial professional

Description: SPACE4ALL aims to unravel the climate vulnerability of slum communities in six larger and secondary cities by combining Citizen Science and Earth Observation methods. By combining Earth Observation data with qualitative, rich and diverse data from citizen science, local vulnerabilities can be captured. Thereupon, the data can train state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence models. Normally these fall short because of insufficient data in such areas. The open-access results, which will be made freely available for local communities, will allow prioritizing risk hotspots in support of local information needs and measures.
