Alexander Popp, Technical University of Munich Stephen Trainor, Crookneck Consulting LLC Valentijn Venus, University of Twente Source Copernicus Masters Competition URBAN ANALYSER A city development tool offering high resolution information on global urban development. In order to avoid infrastructural and environmental problems that can result from the poorly regulated and unplanned growth of suburban regions, timely data on the dynamics of urban development are needed. The proposed service would offer high-resolution information on global urban development based on Sentinel-1 data. The emphasis is on the mapping of fine temporal dynamics, which makes it possible to ascertain changes at intervals shorter than one month. This would produce the fastest and freshest information source on urban developments. The service would also help to extrapolate and estimate urbanization trends with high accuracy. Data used is: New time series for 2014: Copernicus Sentinel-1 Interferometric Wide (IW) swath (IW). Archived time series for 1970-2013: Landsat, Envisat ASAR, and ERS SAR. Urban Analyser is the winner of the DLR environmental challenge of the Copernicus Masters 2013 Competition.
Impact – Benefits The European Commission, environmental agencies, and large municipalities will have fresh and accurate information about urban area growth, which will aid in planning policies for environmental protection and infrastructure development.

Mapping bathymetry (water depth) on a global scale would be desirable for many applications, but is not possible due to the limits of traditional methods. This idea focuses on a novel satellite based approach as a solution for optical shallow-water areas. Recent developments indicate that an operational approach to mapping bathymetry is possible with a cloud-based method that processes repeated satellite recordings. This can also mitigate shortcomings faced in many coastal areas where changing turbidity has impeded the few methods applied so far to derive satellite-based bathymetry. The Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8 satellite missions are most applicable to this approach due to their coverage, repeat cycles, and spectral/spatial resolution. EOMAP is the winner of the T-Systems Cloud Computing Challenge of the Copernicus Masters 2013 Competition.
Impact – Benefits • Requires only a fraction (10-25%) of the usual costs • Rapid data access, processing • Extended areas can be mapped, even in remote and inaccessible areas • No field campaign management or local infrastructure required • Carbon-neutral • Other seafloor information as side product
