Satellite Data Analysis Group

For many of our clients – especially those that wish to have an up-close view of a range of events on the ground, from protests to troop and militia movements – we can now capture those images and detect changes of those features from time series of satellite images. Combine them with our forecasts and forward-looking ratings and data and you have an explosive combination.

The time series images can also be used to check the impact of nature or human-made disasters. We can also look at the patterns shown on the image as an indicator of poverty and social turmoil.

With day and evening images we can also look at the economic development level of a region, as well as those items of increasing importance to political risk levels, including air pollution, large-scale water and environmental contaminations.
