Group 1: Applications of Remote Sensing by Jean-Nicolas Poussart https://padlet.com/lunduniversity/swfp22haztea55ng This padlet capture ideas and reflections from the class NGEN24 VT2024 and ethical and legal aspects of remote sensing. en-us 2023-05-29 09:14:04 UTC 2025-04-24 08:40:11 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/lunduniversity/swfp22haztea55ng/wish/3010206588

  • Privacy

    • High res satellites

      • Can’t sunbake naked anymore

      • Privacy concerns 

    • Insurance companies

      • Get some info on what you’re doing in your garden as well

        • Change insurance policies based on this

    • Large potential for misuse

    • Data combinations with other sensitive data (e.g. health)

  • Space junk

    • Agreements around space pollution

  • War

    • Who has rights to data

    • Intellectual property

    • Can be severely misused by certain nations

      • Israel vs Palestine example

  • Competition between companies

  • Information leakage

  • National sovereignty 

  • Company sovereignty

  • Company using geo-data for destroying the environment

    • E.g. Evil GIS

    • Oil palm

    • Conform to the same standards

    • Support countries with lesser abilities for remote sensing


    Against international

    • Some countries have more power or influence than others

    • No teeth

    • Less consideration for country interests or local conditions / values


    For national

    • Different standards and values?

    • More technological advancement

      • Freedom in what they can do

      • International law can be restrictive


    Lower floor of international law and other national laws to build on and advance international law

  • Which company to work for?

  • Ethical companies

  • Which products to consume?

    • Supply chain

  • Debates

  • Do not manipulate data - educate others on misuse of data

    • Educate others on methods people use to misuse data

    • Research bias

  • Responsibility for new techniques and research outputs

    • How to manage innovations and creations that you realise may be used for bad (or have a negative impact on the environment or society)

  • Lobby decision makers on remote sensing

    • Image manipulation identification techniques

      • International certification standards for quality and manipulation

    • Database standards

    • Ethical applications

      • Hydrocarbon exploration

    • Only focus on certain areas

    • Ethical coverage or resolution, particularly for disaster management / monitoring

    • Climate change -> accountability for providing remote sensing products

    • Having global products for certain, very useful applications

      • DEM

    • Research ethics in remote sensing

    • Harsh punishments for misuse of remote sensing data

      • Fines

      • Withdrawal of geodata licences


    Who

    • Researchers

      • Nick

    • More collaboration between researchers and stakeholders and decision makers

    • Ethical committee 

      • Environment, religious, all sectors

      • Yearly evaluations for all organisations involved with remote sensing

    • UN

  • Funding

  • Complexity

    • E.g environmental interactions between various environmental variables

  • Uncertainties 

    • E.g. too much reliance on satellites - sometimes they go missing (Sentinel 1)

  • Resolutions and coverage are issues

    • Clouds

    • Dynamics of ecosystems

    • Revisit time

    • Spectral resolution

      • Hyperspectral

  • Data interoperability

    • Using different bands from different satellites

  • Not directly measuring - instead we are deriving information from proxies and assumption based on remote sensing data
