Title:
Integration of Earth observation into the E-NUNDATION solution
Agreement Value:
$298,514.23
Agreement Date:
Nov 26, 2021 - Mar 31, 2024
Description:
This project aims to develop innovative approaches using Earth observation data for modeling and mapping floods, the most frequent and damaging natural disaster in Canada. By integrating optical and radar satellite imagery, this project will generate near-real-time flood boundaries and flood maps. These results will help decision-makers to have a global and current vision of the risk in order to take preventive action and optimize interventions, and for insurance companies to better evaluate risks for their clients.

Canadian Space Agency
Expected Results:
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research
and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the
future.
