• On Your Radar: SAR and Cloud-Native Analysis for Humanitarian Missions

  Nov. 18 '26, 01:30pm Workshop Council Room

  Join us in our session to learn a cohesive workflow that is useful in both humanitarian and geospatial intelligence. In our talk, learn how to extract data from SAR imagery and run analytics against it leveraging cloud-native and AI-enabled workflows that are critical in the face of real-time analytical requirements, and then see how the analytical products can be brought into web application tools to further analyze and explore the data to uncover useful information. Attendees will leave with:

  • An understanding of how SAR imagery can be used to detect patterns and extract information that may not be visible through traditional observation.
  • A practical workflow for converting raw imagery into analytical products using cloud-native and AI-enabled geospatial tools.
  • Examples showing how the same analytical methodology can be applied across humanitarian, environmental, and geospatial intelligence missions.
  • Insights into how web applications can be used to explore, analyze, and operationalize the resulting information for decision support.
  • A framework for identifying opportunities to adapt proven geospatial workflows from other industries to their own challenges.

  Workshop space is limited. Sign-up will happen in-person when you check in for the conference.
