About this event

  • 1 hour

Natural hazards and disasters can have a lasting impact on the Earth and our communities. By examining years of satellite imagery we can observe the extent of hazard impacts on our landscape and infrastructure and plan for future events.

This teacher professional learning session will explore how Earth observation satellites are used to monitor natural hazards, walk you through how to access real satellite imagery from the Digital Earth Australia (DEA) portal and will provide you with some ready-to-use classroom activities.
