Copernicus Earth Observation data can help manage the Earth\u2019s finite resources and the limited space available for people, animals and plants. With ongoing developments in this area, Copernicus Earth Observation data can power various applications that matter concretely to people\u2019s lives.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One practical example of an Earth Observation application is the use of drought indicators to help farmers decide when and where to plant their crops. Other examples include the monitoring of crops to detect crop stress, and the monitoring of Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) to remedy adverse environmental impacts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Copernicus Earth Observation programme<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Copernicus, the EU’s Earth Observation Programme, is a major source of Earth Observation data served by a set of dedicated Sentinel satellites and by existing commercial and public satellites. In addition, ground stations deliver data acquired by sensors on the ground, at sea or in the air. This wealth of near-real-time data provided by Copernicus helps us better understand what happens on our planet and act on those insights.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
