How to find data collection in EO CAT?
A short guide to EO-CAT Earth Observation Catalogue application with examples.
Easy visualisation of Earth observation data with new HEDAVI tool modes
The Discover mode in HEDAVI showcases the usefulness of Earth Observation (EO) data in a variety of applications through a list of case-studies—so-called “stories”. The first new feature allows users to share links to the stories in HEDAVI. The second new feature allows them to export any image of a case-study from the Discover mode to the Explorer mode.
