ACA*GIScience KSUCTA Team has started a new project "Assessing Human Vulnerability to Climate Change" supported by the Planet Action - an Astrium GEO Initiative. Planet Action was launched in 2007 by Spot Image, leading supplier of
satellite imagery and geo-information, joined by ESRI, leading GIS
technologies provider as co-founder.
The main objective of the project is the assessment of human vulnerabilities in the
selected 5 cities of Kyrgyzstan to climate change hazards
such as flooding. High resolution satellite data for project will be supplied by the Spot Image. Satellite image processing and GIS software (e-Cognition and ArcGIS) will be provided by Trimble and ESRI.
