Satellite imagery gives experts a better understanding of conflict
A study by researchers from EPFL, ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich demonstrates how high‑resolution satellite imagery, combined with text‑based data, can improve the assessment of damage, population movements and infrastructure conditions in conflict zones. The research, published in Nature, shows that fusing satellite observations with other sources can uncover otherwise undocumented violence and provide a more complete picture of conflict dynamics.
