General description |
Overview of Challenge |
||||
5 |
What is the nature of the challenge? (What is not adequately addressed at present?) |
Predicting the location of geohazards is an important consideration for pipeline routing and facility siting and this information is particularly critical in the planning phase. |
||||
6 |
Thematic information requirements |
1. Obtain detailed topographic information, 3. Obtain detailed vegetation information, 4. Obtain detailed land-use information, 6. Identify inland water bodies and determine water quality, 13. Monitor ground movement, 14. Obtain detailed image |
||||
7 |
Nature of the challenge - What effect does this challenge have on operations? |
If the migration patterns of geohazards such as rivers are identified, appropriate mitigation can be arranged. This may be via re-routing or re-enforcement of particular pipeline lengths. |
||||
8 |
What do you currently do to address this challenge?/ How is this challenge conventionally addressed? |
To be completed by ML |
||||
9 |
What kind of solution do you envisage could address this challenge? |
Very high to medium resolution EO data to monitor changes of rivers and lakes as well as coast lines.
|
||||
10 |
What is your view on the capability of technology to meet this need? – are you currently using EO tech? If not, why not? |
EO could be a useful complimentary technology |
