The Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS), a part of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), has released a new website. The new site focuses on CCRS’ research and development (R&D) work, undertaken to extract value from highly complex remotely-sensed data obtained over Canada, from both Canadian and foreign-owned earth observation satellites. Such work leverages the billions of dollars Canada invests in space infrastructure, generating value-added information that facilitates government decision-making and operations.
New content is presented and the site is organized to highlight CCRS’ different R&D areas, including radar, optical and hyperspectral methods and applications, and emergency management. The new site also enables users to access CCRS’ sister sites, which feature the Earth Observation Data Service and the Canadian Spatial Reference System.
The website’s improved design complements other NRCan websites. It retains popular features from CCRS’ previous site, such as the remote sensing glossary and tutorials. The site will be updated periodically to present CCRS’ ongoing activities, in remote sensing R&D, as well as in geodesy and satellite data ground reception, archiving and access.
