Unveiling the Great Lakes: Sharing the Power of Remote Sensing with MECP and OCWA
Last week, I had the pleasure of presenting at a joint meeting for the MECP (Municipal Engineers Association of Canada) and OCWA (Ontario Clean Water Agency). The event focused on the transformative potential of remote sensing technology for environmental monitoring and management, specifically for protecting our valuable water resources. Over 80 MECP and OCWA members attended the presentation , highlighting the growing interest in leveraging this powerful technology. The talk, titled "Remote Sensing: A Catalyst for Environmental Innovation and Transparency," explored how satellite imagery can overcome the limitations of traditional methods. Remote sensing offers detailed, cost-effective, and accessible data collection , allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of environmental issues. In the presentation, I discussed how remote sensing can be used to: Monitor pollution distribution in the Great Lakes: Satellites can track changes in water quality over vast areas,
