Environmental hazard analyses - Institute of Geodesy and Cartography

As part of our satellite-based environmental risk analysis, we monitor key phenomena such as algal blooms in the Oder River, local flooding, floods in the Vistula and Oder valleys, as well as forest fires and frost damage to winter crops. We analyze satellite data to assess fire risks in forests and other environmental changes. We use remote sensing technology for rapid detection and assessment of threats, which supports effective crisis management and environmental protection.
