Global Investigative Journalism Network (https://archive.gijn.org/tag/remote-sensing/)
A France-based nonprofit founded in 2020, EIF has built an international network of more than 100 trained investigative journalists and environmental experts, connecting them to each other and to opportunities to probe activities shaping the natural world.
This edition of the GIJN Toolbox explores global databases and remote sensing resources that reporters can use to investigate local environmental threats.
How Greenpeace’s investigative site, Unearthed, used satellite imagery and database mapping to reveal hundreds of fires on environmentally protected land in the English moors – including dozens that could be illegal.
In this edition of The GIJN Toolbox — which surveys the latest tips and tools for investigative journalists — we’ll take a look at the process of analyzing satellite imagery derived from infrared radiation, a technique The New York Times used to cover a West Coast wildfire. We’ll also explore the controversial practice of using facial recognition technology, how to request NASA satellite data, a new document search tool from Google, and more.
