Earth Observation (EO), Geographic Information Systems (GI) and geospatial data in general have evolved over the last decade from a niche application in the planning and delivery of humanitarian aid to a central part of MSF’s work. In complex, rapidly evolving situations with limited direct access, EO and GI can help with questions such as:
How many people are in need of assistance?
How many vaccinations are needed?
How should we measure our freshwater production?
Where are convenient routes for water pipelines?
Which areas are more vulnerable to diseases transmitted by water-breeding mosquitoes?
MSF is a global leader in the humanitarian sector and has spent the last decade advancing technology and promoting the use of EO and GIS in humanitarian aid. Today, EO and geospatial data are becoming mainstream: More and more satellites are being launched, more reliable computer vision techniques are being developed, more other geospatial and statistical data are available, and many different services are being offered. That is why we at GEOHUM (Christian Doppler Laboratory for Geospatial and Earth Observation Technologies) are investigating how MSF can make the best use of these tools to meet the most urgent decision-making needs and provide information quickly, reliably and clearly. Three research areas (RA) form the main pillars of the CDL: Img2Info, ConSense and Info2Comm. These interlocking and interdependent fields of activity complement each other.
