new work: mapping long-term landscape dynamics under pervasive cloud cover, this map is cloud-free but over 50% of our input images had over 50% of cloud cover. how did we do that? check out --> Capturing coupled riparian and coastal disturbance from industrial mining using cloud-resilient satellite time series analysis http://www.nature.com/articles/srep3512

check out the Conflict Urbanism platform built with Columbia Univ collaborators! >> Conflict Urbanism: Aleppo is a project in two stages. First, we have built an open-source, interactive, data-rich map of the city of Aleppo, at the neighborhood scale. Users can navigate the city, with the aid of high resolution satellite imagery from before and during the current civil war, and explore geo-located data about cultural sites and urban damage from Human Rights Watch, the United Nations Operational Satellite Applications Programme, and the Humanitarian Information Unit (HIU) at the U.S. Department of State. Second, the map is also a platform into which additional data of all sorts can be integrated. It is an invitation to students and invited collaborators to record and narrate urban damage in Aleppo — at the cultural, infrastructural, or neighborhood scale — and to present that research in case studies which will be added to the website over time.

A joint report by Amnesty International and Forensic Architecture reveals strong evidence of Israeli war crimes during attacks on Rafah between 1 and 4 August after the capture of Israeli soldier Lieutenant Hadar Goldin during the 2014 Israel/Gaza conflict.

honored to have been involved in this report on last summer's events in Gaza. satellite imagery, media analysis, crowdsourcing, geosynching, and architectural reconstruction all came together so profoundly thanks to eyal weizman's leadership.
